This AI-driven approach allowed Ananda to explore various construction scenarios and challenge conventional assumptions, leading to significant efficiencies.
The Business
Ananda Development PLC, a major residential property developer in Thailand, utilized ALICE Technologies' computational AI to optimize the planning and execution of its Elio Del Nest high-rise project. This AI-driven approach allowed Ananda to explore various construction scenarios and challenge conventional assumptions, leading to significant efficiencies.
Before AI
Ananda Development was planning a large residential high-rise project and sought to improve its efficiency and profitability using traditional project planning methods.
What Changed
Ananda partnered with ALICE Technologies to use its computational AI to explore numerous construction scenarios, challenging core assumptions about formwork, crew numbers, overtime, and sequencing to identify optimal paths for building the Elio Del Nest project.
The Result
By leveraging ALICE, Ananda was able to decrease the project duration by 208 days and slash overall project costs by 32%, gaining more confidence in its project planning decisions.
Why this matters
AI-Powered Scenario Planning for Optimized Construction Projects
Complex construction projects are fertile ground for AI optimization, as demonstrated by Ananda Development's significant cost and time savings. By using AI to simulate countless planning scenarios, businesses can uncover counter-intuitive but highly effective strategies, such as the finding that paying overtime could lead to overall project cost reductions. This capability moves project management beyond intuition and traditional methods, enabling data-driven decisions that impact the bottom line.
For small to medium-sized construction firms, this approach offers a pathway to unprecedented efficiency and competitiveness. Access to AI tools that can meticulously analyze variables like crew allocation, material flow, and sequencing allows them to mitigate risks, reduce waste, and deliver projects faster and more profitably, without the need for extensive in-house expertise typically associated with such complex optimizations.
