Forecasting for Advanced Construction Workforce Planning
Better assess, predict, and plan your construction workforce needs with digitization
Do you have enough people for all your construction projects, current and future? Do you have the right professionals with the right skills? Are they available—and will they be available when you need them? For large general contractors, getting answers to those questions based on real data has historically meant many hours of manual spreadsheet work. That made informed workforce planning a challenge. Bridgit Bench is the first automated workforce management platform for the construction industry, enabling general contractors to realistically assess their resource utilization rates and plan their workforce allocations based on data. Mallorie Brodie and Lauren Lake, founders of Bridgit, share the story of their company and walk you through the initial steps for digitizing your workforce planning process.
