��Թ� Partners with Sir Robert McAlpine to Bring Data-Driven Workforce Planning to One of the UK’s Most Iconic Contractors

Daniel Blaser — Wed, 13 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The strategic partnership equips Sir Robert McAlpine with ��Թ� to address the growing need for proactive people planning across complex, long-horizon UK construction programmes.

TORONTO & LONDON — May 12, 2026 — ��Թ�, the leading AI workforce planning software for construction, today announced a strategic partnership with Sir Robert McAlpine (SRM), one of the United Kingdom’s leading construction and infrastructure companies. The partnership will see SRM adopt ��Թ�’s workforce planning platform to modernise how it plans, allocates, and retains the talent needed to deliver some of Britain’s most complex and consequential infrastructure projects.

Founded in 1869, Sir Robert McAlpine has more than 150 years’ experience delivering some of Britain’s most iconic projects — from flagship commercial developments and major NHS facilities to national infrastructure and heritage landmarks. Today, SRM operates across infrastructure, industrial, commercial, healthcare, defence, and heritage sectors, with a workforce drawn from some of the industry’s most skilled and experienced professionals. As project complexity deepens and the pipeline of major UK programmes continues to grow, the firm recognised the need for a more structured, data-led approach to workforce planning.

A Strategic Response to a Structural Challenge

The UK and broader European construction sector faces a well-documented workforce crisis: skilled labour shortages, demographic change, and the retirement of experienced project managers and superintendents are widening the gap between project demand and delivery capacity. According to ��Թ�’s 2026 — the industry’s largest workforce intelligence study — the median industry attrition rate has reached 18.7%. Senior talent is scarcer still; Senior Project Managers turn over at just 3.6%, but when they do leave, the impact on project continuity is significant. For contractors like SRM managing multi-year programmes, retaining and strategically deploying experienced professionals isn’t just a people issue — it’s a project delivery issue.

“Our people are our greatest competitive advantage, and ensuring the right talent is in the right place at the right time is central to how we deliver for our clients,” said Nadeem Mirza, Resourcing and Workforce Planning Director, Sir Robert McAlpine. “��Թ� gives us the visibility and rigour to plan our workforce with the same precision we bring to our project programmes. In an environment where skilled talent is increasingly constrained, that capability is essential.”

��Թ�’s ��Թ� at the Heart of the Partnership

Through the partnership, SRM will deploy ��Թ�’s AI Workforce Planning platform — the only AI purpose-built for construction workforce planning — marking a significant step forward in how the firm manages talent across its growing project portfolio. ��Թ� builds on SRM’s own workforce history and data, surfacing patterns and suggestions that get sharper over time. These valuable insights will provide SRM with deep, immediate visibility into the experiences and skills that make each team member unique — spanning past projects, certifications, availability, location, and tenure. Planners will be able to ask ��Թ� questions directly and receive AI-powered smart suggestions as they assemble and balance project teams, enabling the firm to move away from spreadsheet-based processes and toward a structured, data-driven model built for proactive decision-making.

With ��Թ�, SRM will be able to:

Easily put the right people on every project – AI-powered suggestions recommend the right person for each role based on skills, experience, and availability, with the ability to query ��Թ� directly during planning

Align workforce plans with project pipeline – Leverage project timelines and sector mix to ensure more precise team planning with longer lead time

Gain better team visibility – Quickly see team composition, tenure, and experience balance for active and upcoming projects

Ensure junior talent is supported – Analyse “rookie ratio” to ensure junior talent is effectively paired with experienced colleagues before projects mobilise

Better understand attrition and retention – Attrition tracking and talent retention insights can protect institutional knowledge as SRM continues to scale

“Sir Robert McAlpine is exactly the kind of contractor that demonstrates why workforce intelligence matters,” said Mallorie Brodie, CEO of ��Թ�. “They operate at the highest level of complexity, with programmes that span years and teams that must perform without margin for error. Our data shows that the companies leading the industry in workforce planning have a measurably longer planning horizon and lower attrition than their peers. Partnering with SRM to bring that approach to the UK market is something we’re genuinely proud of.”

The UK and European Opportunity

The partnership with Sir Robert McAlpine marks a significant step in ��Թ�’s expansion into the UK and European construction markets, where demand for structured workforce intelligence is accelerating. Major UK infrastructure commitments — including investment in transport, energy, defence, and healthcare — are creating sustained demand for construction services at a time when the talent pipeline is under real pressure. UK contractors that invest now in systematic workforce planning will be better positioned to win and deliver the decade’s most significant programmes.

Across Europe, the challenge is similarly acute. Supply chain re-shoring, energy transition infrastructure, and urban regeneration programmes are driving substantial construction activity, even as the available pool of experienced construction professionals narrows. ��Թ�’s platform is purpose-built to help contractors in these conditions turn workforce planning from a reactive overhead into a strategic capability.

Construction’s Labor Shortage Is Hiding a Deeper Problem. New ��Թ� Data from 114,000+ Workers Shows What It Is

Alyssa Teal — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 13:00:08 +0000

��Թ�’s 2026 Construction Workforce Benchmark Report reveals that a 20%+ attrition rate is erasing headcount gains for most contractors — and that the industry’s biggest challenge isn’t just finding labor, it’s retaining the experienced people to deliver projects.

TORONTO — April 1, 2026 — ��Թ�, the leading workforce planning software for construction, today published the — the first workforce intelligence report drawing on real workforce data from 233 contractors, 114,000+ professionals, and nearly 40% of the ENR 400. The findings challenge several widely-held assumptions about the industry’s labor market and offer contractors a data-driven benchmark for their own workforce strategies.

Key Findings at a Glance

In 2025, ��Թ� continued to invest heavily in its product roadmap, delivering new capabilities that help contractors make faster, more data-driven decisions:

46% of contractors achieved zero net headcount growth in 2025.
The industry’s median attrition rate is 18.7%, meaning a contractor who needs to add 100 people must hire approximately 125 to account for turnover.
Industrial/Manufacturing project starts surged 68.1% year-over-year, while Solar starts fell 44.4%.
Senior Project Managers have an attrition rate of just 3.6% — compared to 18.8% for non-senior PMs.
ENR Top 50 firms plan an average of 6.8 years into the future, versus 4.7 years for other contractors.

The Treadmill Effect: Growth That Goes Nowhere

One of the report’s most striking findings is what ��Թ� calls the “treadmill effect.” While 71.7% of contractors grew headcount in 2025, the industry’s average attrition rate of 20.7% nearly wiped out those gains. A contractor targeting 100 net new hires with a 20% attrition rate must actually make 125 total hires. At 35% attrition—at the higher end of the distribution—that number climbs to 154.

“Most workforce decisions in construction still happen on instinct and spreadsheets,” said Mallorie Brodie, CEO of ��Թ�. “What this data shows—drawn directly from the workforce plans of the world’s largest contractors—is that the gap between instinct and data is measured in years of planning horizon and points of attrition. The companies pulling ahead are the ones thinking ahead.”

Lauren Lake, ��Թ�’s co-founder, spent much of 2025 on a customer road show, personally checking on implementations, gathering feedback, and ensuring the company’s vision aligned with that of leaders across the country.

“Being present with our customers—whether that’s in the boardroom or in the field—continues to be one of our biggest differentiators,” said Lake. “The outcome of this roadshow is translating directly into product improvements leading to better workflows, better adoption, and better outcomes for our customers.”

The Labor Shortage Goes Deeper Than Headcount

The report adds important context to the widely discussed labor shortage in construction. The data highlights a specific—and more difficult—problem: the availability of experienced, senior-level talent in the roles that matter most: site superintendents and project managers.

Senior Superintendents have a median tenure of 7 years and an attrition rate of 4.1%. Senior Project Managers are even more stable, with a median tenure of 5.6 years and an attrition rate of just 3.6%. Their junior counterparts turn over at rates more than twice as high — and have a median tenure of only 3.7–3.8 years.

The implication: it’s not just about hiring, it’s about identifying where skill gaps are present, and finding ways to retain, develop, and scale top talent.

A Rapidly Shifting Project Mix Demands New Workforce Strategy

The report documents a significant reshuffling of the construction project landscape over the past five years. Industrial and Manufacturing project starts grew 68.1% year-over-year—a trend being accelerated by current tariff policies and supply chain re-shoring. Transportation and Infrastructure starts rose 45.2%, and Data Center projects continued their well-documented climb. Meanwhile, Solar starts fell 44.4%.

The data also reveals that project type isn’t just a revenue question, it’s a workforce planning variable. Median team sizes range from 5 people on Office/Corporate projects to 28.5 on Solar. Project durations span from 4.7 months (Renovation) to 30.1 months (Solar). The largest contractors in the ENR Top 50 are more concentrated in longer, more complex project types, and their workforce strategies reflect that.

Introducing the Rookie Ratio Benchmark

The report highlights the “rookie ratio,” a practical tool used for balancing team experience before a project begins. The rookie ratio measures the proportion of team members with less than one year of company tenure, paired with more experienced team members. Across the dataset, the average rookie ratio is 36.4%. Larger teams (51+ people) skew closer to ~56%, compared to roughly 25% on three-to-five-person teams.

Strategic contractors use the rookie ratio as a pre-project planning input, aligning experience with project complexity before work begins—rather than discovering imbalances during execution. An added benefit is the intentional development of less-tenured team members through direct pairing with veterans.

The company’s international expansion also accelerated, with 162% year-over-year growth across Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K. This reflects strong demand for modern workforce planning outside of North America and validates the company’s global go-to-market strategy.

“Enterprise builders are looking for one system of record for their people and project resourcing,” added Brodie. “We’re seeing more organizations move from spreadsheets and homegrown tools to a single ��Թ� deployment that empowers them to more strategically and predictably manage their workforce across regions, business units, and delivery models.”

��Թ� Leads Workforce Planning Innovation with the Launch of Experience Tracking

Alyssa Teal — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 15:33:17 +0000

New capabilities identify people best suited for any individual project, turning construction companies’ people data into a competitive advantage
Enables operations leaders to create high-performing construction teams from relevant employee experience data
Improves employee job satisfaction and retention while driving better project outcomes and client satisfaction

[TORONTO, Ontario, January 21, 2025] – ��Թ�, the leader in construction workforce planning software, announces the launch of ��Թ� Experience Tracking. Built in response to common workforce planning challenges such as: Who in our company has experience with this project type, delivery method, or this specific owner? What team members would make the most compelling team to win the job? Do we have the required experience to bid on this project? Experience Tracking transforms construction companies’ employee experience data into a strategic asset to answer these very questions.

Designed to empower operations leaders to build high-performing teams based on employees’ relevant project experience, these new capabilities also improve job satisfaction and retention, driving superior project outcomes and enhanced client satisfaction. The launch of Experience Tracking reaffirms ��Թ�’s commitment to leading innovation in workforce planning and helping construction companies adopt a people-centric approach to their workforce planning strategy.

“With ��Թ� Experience Tracking, we’re enabling construction leaders to make informed decisions that elevate team performance and project success,” said Mallorie Brodie, CEO of ��Թ�. “By focusing on experience and not just availability, our customers can not only deliver better results but also create a more engaging and rewarding environment for their teams.”
