Case Study: Harper General Contractors achieves greater workforce visibility and improved resource planning with Bridgit Bench (Bridgit)

How Bridgit Bench helps Harper General Contractors increase visibility into their workforce plan

Harper General Contractors, a family-owned firm founded in 1950 and based in Greenville, SC, builds in the Carolinas and parts of Georgia and Tennessee across markets like industrial, water/wastewater, education, healthcare and historic renovation. Rapid growth over the past five years—bigger projects, new industries and markets—exposed limits in their informal staffing tools (whiteboards and Excel), making it hard to find, place and retain the right people and to give stakeholders visibility into workforce plans.

Harper adopted Bridgit Bench as a centralized, cloud-accessible resource management tool to replace siloed planning. The platform now supports about 150 people and 75 projects per year, brings more stakeholders into planning, improves team assembly and resource utilization, and made adjustments faster and easier (even boosting productivity during COVID). Its simplicity drove adoption, and leadership credits the tool as a practical driver of continued growth.
