Who is Dalux?
Founded in 2005, Dalux is a Danish software company built on a foundation of geometric processing and 3D computer graphics. As a Contech company our products are aimed at making the construction industry smarter and more efficient.

The construction industry is the second largest industry in the world, and it is still amongst the least digitalized industries. Huge amounts of time, materials and knowledge are wasted on modern construction sites. It is estimated that only 30% of all time spent onsite is used executing the actual construction tasks driving the process. At Dalux we are changing this.

Our software facilitates the entire lifecycle of a building. We have a complete end-to-end solution used from the initial idea of the building, the handling of technical drawings (BIM models), the construction, and to the subsequent operation and maintenance of the building. All the way - until the inevitable demolition - we reduce waste of time, materials, and cost.

To continue building the best products on the market, we focus intensely on technology and product development. This means we are at the forefront using cloud solutions, drones, computer vision and AI to change the way the construction industry works.

For the last 5 years, we have grown by 60% annually. Dalux employs more than 700 people distributed across 35 offices in 22 countries. All our product development is located in our offices in Østerbro, Copenhagen.
