The challenge
Disconnected decision-making
Barringer Construction—a leading Carolinas-based general contractor with offices in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Asheville—has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional experiences across corporate interiors, hospitality, commercial, institutional, and industrial projects. With a team of roughly 200 employees and a diverse portfolio spanning multiple sectors, Barringer’s rapid growth introduced new complexities in workforce planning.
Historically, each office relied on a patchwork of disconnected tools, creating operational silos. This fragmented approach left leadership without real-time visibility into pursuits and available team members across locations. As a result, critical updates were missed between weekly meetings, and opportunities to share resources were often overlooked.
The solution
A seamless launch
Barringer identified Bridgit as the solution to unify its resource planning process. The rollout was smooth and strategic, anchored by an integration with Unanet, Barringer’s CRM. Brandon Norris, who leads Technology and Innovation at Barringer, played a pivotal role in ensuring a successful implementation.
Key stakeholders—including market leaders, project executives, and preconstruction directors—received targeted training, supported by Bridgit’s customer success team. “Support has been A+!” noted Senior Project Manager Josh Ramsey, underscoring the quality of collaboration during adoption.
The impact
Unlocking real ROI
The impact was immediate. “We saw ROI from day one, especially once Bridgit was linked to our CRM,” Josh shared. With all relevant data consolidated across three offices, Barringer achieved a level of visibility that had previously been impossible.
Bridgit quickly became central to weekly operations meetings, enabling teams to review active projects, evaluate pursuits with estimated construction dates, and confirm staffing capacity for upcoming work. The silos that once hindered resource planning were eliminated, empowering Barringer to make strategic decisions based on collective expertise across all locations—a capability they simply didn’t have before.
The benefits extended beyond operations. Project Coordinators now use Bridgit to track team assignments and project activity, while the Marketing team leverages historical project profiles to create more accurate resumes and experience documentation. These unexpected efficiencies have amplified Barringer’s ability to showcase its expertise to clients and prospects.
Looking ahead
Building the future
Barringer continues to expand its use of Bridgit, investing in preconstruction modules to improve forecasting for estimating teams and exploring experience-tracking functionality to inform strategic growth decisions.
With real-time visibility across all three offices, Barringer has transformed resource management from manual and disconnected to proactive and collaborative. This evolution has enabled the company to win more work, deploy talent more effectively, and strengthen its reputation for delivering exceptional client experiences.
