Help centre and user stories are public; global Customer Success Management teams are described as supporting every client. Support is delivered through local offices rather than a stated 24/7 desk.
“Not listed” means the vendor’s public pages don’t mention that channel, not that it is unavailable. Ask about it during evaluation.

Bottom line
Dalux is a Danish construction software suite covering BIM viewing, common data environment (Dalux Box), field and site management, infrastructure, handover and facility management. Founded in 2005 in Copenhagen, it reports 1.7 million users across 147 countries and builds its platform entirely in-house, with free BIM Viewer and Field Basic entry tiers alongside paid modules quoted by local teams rather than published list pricing. An AI Assistant is in beta for Box Pro.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Dalux cost?
Dalux does not publish list pricing. The BIM Viewer and Field Basic project types are offered free, while the paid modules (Box, Field, InfraField, Tender, Handover, FM) are priced through the local Dalux team, so buyers should expect a quoted, negotiated contract rather than a self-serve checkout.
How quickly can a team get value from Dalux?
The free BIM Viewer and Field Basic can be started immediately by creating a project. A full rollout on paid modules involves company templates, metadata and naming conventions, approval flows and user groups, so budget weeks rather than days for organisation-wide adoption.
Does Dalux have AI features?
Dalux advertises an AI Assistant in beta for Box Pro subscribers and collects registration of interest from Box Pro customers who are project administrators. No feature detail, model provider or data-training policy has been published, so treat AI capability as unproven for procurement purposes.
What security and compliance assurances does Dalux give?
Its security page describes folder-level access control via user groups, multi-factor authentication, Microsoft Entra SSO, audit logs for project activity, and servers located in the UK and the EU for data sovereignty. No SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or FedRAMP certification is claimed on that page.
How does Dalux integrate with the rest of our stack?
Dalux products connect to each other (Box to Field, Tender, Handover and FM), and external connections include plugins that upload 2D and 3D information from construction design software plus a documented public API for custom workflows and dashboards. Microsoft Entra ID provides SSO and Box Sync mirrors data to desktop like OneDrive.
What support is included?
Dalux provides a public help centre and documentation, and states that Customer Success Management teams around the world support clients through a large network of local offices. A 24/7 support commitment and specific response-time SLAs are not published.
