BUILD Q2 2026 “Bridgit’s mission is to help contractors build more effectively by putting their people first.” It is the unique skills, experience, and dedication of the construction workforce that turns every project into reality. Yet for decades, the tools used to manage the industry’s most valuable asset have treated workers as interchangeable bodies. Workforce planning has remained a chaotic, disconnected process, making it nearly impossible to strategically manage the people at the centre of every project. Bridgit was launched in 2012, developed specifically to enhance a space that has been long dominated by outdated, generic project management tools. The platform concentrates specifically on connecting people to project demand in the construction industry, helping contractors understand what work they have, as well as whether they are equipped with the teams and tools required to execute it. The platform is designed to meet companies wherever they are in their digital maturity, working equally well with spreadsheets as it does with fully integrated systems. This lowers adoption barriers in an industry that is traditionally averse to change. In taking such a practical, construction-driven approach to its operations, Bridgit successfully positions workforce planning as a core driver of project predictability, rather than an administrative afterthought. Today, Bridgit stands as the number one workforce planning software in the construction industry. The platform has integrated innovative AI tools to further streamline workforce management and has secured working partnerships with many of the top general contractors in the world. Bridgit boasts more than 350 customers, including 150 of the ENR 400 and more than 50% of the ENR 50, including Balfour Beatty, Fortis, KBD Group, Clune Construction, Skanska, and more. Over the next five years, Bridgit’s focus is on transforming workforce planning from a reactive exercise into a strategic advantage for contractors around the world. The construction industry is currently facing a pivotal moment, facing persistent labour shortages, rising burnout, and increasing project complexity. The platform’s innovative strategy will centre on unlocking workforce data, improving planning workflows, and leveraging AI to make smarter, faster, and more sustainable staffing decisions. The Bridgit team is investing heavily in AIpowered workforce planning tools that will aid contractors in moving from fragmented spreadsheets and intuition-based decisions to real-time, data-driven insights. By connecting workforce data across projects, regions, and time zones, Bridgit will enable leaders to better forecast labour needs, deploy talent more effectively, and reduce costly inefficiencies such as bench time, reinforcing its position as the Best Construction Workforce Planning Platform 2026. “The goal is not simply optimisation for its own sake,” said Mallorie. “It is about improving the quality of decision-making so companies can keep their best people engaged, productive, and supported.” Equally important is the human side of workforce planning. Burnout and churn remain major risks for the industry, whilst long commutes, unpredictable schedules, and underutilised talent all contribute towards Construction workforce planning has long been constrained by fragmented information, outdated tools, and timecritical decisions. The mismatch between decision speed and data complexity leads to avoidable disruption and unnecessary strain on the workforce. Enter Bridgit, an AI-Driven workforce planning platform designed to tackle this challenge head-on with a people-first, data-informed philosophy, enabling better decisions that support both operational performance and the people doing the work. We heard more from Mallorie Brodie, CEO and Cofounder at Bridgit, as the platform earns applause in the Design & Build Awards 2026. workforce instability. By providing contractors with clearer visibility into upcoming work and workforce capacity, the platform helps to reduce unnecessary trave, better align assignments with employee availability, and create more sustainable career paths. “Our aim is to help companies retain skilled workers and build resilient teams, not just fill roles.” From a growth perspective, Bridgit intends to introduce its value to contractors in other global markets. Having established strong adoption among many of the largest contractors in the North American market, the platform’s next phase is thoughtful international expansion, beginning with markets where workforce challenges closely mirror those it has already helped to solve. The long-term goal is to ultimately empower contractors worldwide with the same level of clarity, efficiency, and workforce intelligence that Bridgit’s current customers rely upon today. “Ultimately, innovation for us means helping construction leaders unlock the full potential of their people and their data,” Mallorie concluded. “By improving workflows, embedding AI where it meaningfully supports decision-making, and supporting workforce sustainability, we aim to shape a future where contractors can grow without burning out their teams. Our success will be measured by how effectively we help our customers deploy their workforce, retain their talent, and deliver projects with greater confidence and consistency.” Contact: Mallorie Brodie Company: Bridgit Web Address: www.gobridgit.com The Workforce Planning Platform That Puts People First
