Case Study: Balfour Beatty achieves faster, clearer workforce planning and significant time savings with Bridgit Bench (Bridgit)

How Balfour Beatty utilizes Bridgit Bench to complete workforce planning quickly and clearly in Texas

Balfour Beatty’s US Buildings Texas team, a leading general contractor serving healthcare, office, hospitality, multifamily, aviation and K–12 clients, faced a rapidly growing Texas market with an overstretched labor pool, faster onboarding and rising labor and material costs. Their internally developed resource-management tool was slow, cumbersome and lacked predictive visuals, making timely, accurate workforce planning difficult as demand and turnover increased.

The team adopted Bridgit Bench — a mobile and web-accessible, intuitive resource-management app — to streamline planning and visualization. The result: faster access and decision-making (system navigation in minutes), visual dashboards that reveal resource gaps and over-allocations, and measurable efficiency gains — about 8+ hours saved per month, 33–50% faster workforce-data updates, resource updates cut from an hour to 30 minutes, and project setup done in one-third the time — enabling quicker, clearer responses to RFPs and better staffing choices.
