In this episode of The Construction Revolution Podcast, we're joined by Mallorie Brodie, CEO and Co-Founder of Bridgit. Mallorie co-founded Bridgit in 2012 and has built it into the go-to workforce planning platform for general contractors across North America and beyond.
We discuss how contractors have traditionally managed their workforce, from manually moving people across whiteboards, to operating in regional silos with no visibility across their full organization. Whereas Bridgit helps construction firms schedule the right people to the right projects at the right time. Mallorie explains why the industry's workforce challenge is really a skills problem rather than a headcount problem, and why that distinction changes how contractors should be planning.
The conversation explores what contractors need to do differently as experienced project managers and superintendents near retirement, how technology adoption in construction has shifted from resistance to genuine excitement, and what the firms pulling ahead of the industry have in common when it comes to planning their people.
