en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian AI construction workforce planning software company Bridgit announced on June 2, 2026, that it has officially expanded its platform to the specialty contractor market, simultaneously launching two new features: Labor Forecasting and Advanced Crew Management. This expansion builds on Bridgit's successful experience working with general contractors and their self-perform divisions, aiming to address the unique challenges specialty contractors face in workforce planning. Over 40% of the Engineering News-Record (ENR) Top 400 firms already use the Bridgit platform to manage their workforce, along with a growing number of specialty contractors.
Bridgit is a Toronto-based construction workforce planning software developer focused on providing AI-driven workforce intelligence solutions for the construction industry. As of January 2026, Bridgit supported 332 clients, managing over 90,000 construction workers daily. The company's clients include more than 50% of the ENR Top 50 firms, and it achieved 162% annual international business growth in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
According to a hiring outlook report released by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) in January 2026, 82% of construction firms reported difficulty filling hourly positions, the highest rate in over three years. Additionally, a Fortune magazine report from April 2026 indicated that the ratio of skilled trade job openings to workers entering the labor market reached 4:1. Bridgit's own "2026 Construction Workforce Benchmark Report" shows that the industry's median turnover rate has reached 18.7%. For a specialty contractor planning to add 100 net new employees, this means approximately 125 hires are needed to achieve the net growth target.
The Labor Forecasting feature provides specialty contractors with a standardized, visual method to model workforce demand for each project using labor curves, enabling contractors to predict when labor demand will rise, peak, or decline, and compare it against actual staffing to ensure projects stay on schedule and within budget. The Advanced Crew Management feature allows specialty contractors to plan workforce by crew, tracking personnel allocation across different job sites at the crew level, achieving crew-level precision, rapid cross-project reallocation, and full staffing visibility.
This platform expansion brings Bridgit's AI workforce planning capabilities to the specialty contractor market, offering new technological solutions to address the increasingly severe labor challenges in the construction industry.
