DCT

What DCT does

DCT (formerly Digital Construction Technologies Group) is a Dublin-headquartered B2B professional services firm founded in 2018 that delivers digital construction consultancy to enterprise clients across mission-critical, pharmaceutical, industrial, healthcare, educational, infrastructure, semiconductor, and global technology sectors. The company's core offering centers on Building Information Modelling (BIM) coupled with Digital Construction Management (DCM), supported by Geospatial Services (laser scanning via Leica RTC 360 and BLK, point cloud processing, Scan-to-BIM) and Project Management capabilities including schedule development and delay analysis. Project delivery is anchored by ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 19650-2 (BIM information management) certifications, which are increasingly required for major enterprise and public-sector construction tenders.

DCT generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements, typically structured as consulting contracts with enterprise clients such as Collen Construction, SUIR Engineering, T. Clarke, Bristol Myers Squibb, and WuXi Biologics. The company operates from five offices (Dublin, Zagreb, Posadas, Newry, and Mostar) using a global delivery model, with technology partnerships with Leica/Hexagon, Nemetschek/Spacewell (dTwin), and Procore. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by industry event participation (Digital Construction Week, Datacloud Global Congress, Data Centre World) and thought leadership, including the 2025 'Death of the New Build' white paper targeting the data centre retrofit opportunity. No public revenue, funding, or pricing data is disclosed.

As of the latest data, DCT employs 69 people and is privately held with no disclosed external investors, though the company has publicly committed to creating 50 new jobs as part of its 2022/2023 rebrand from Digital Construction Technologies Group to DCT. The technology stack comprises BIM modelling, clash detection/avoidance, 4D simulation, DfMA, and digital twin implementation, with proprietary QMS and BIM information management processes but reliance on third-party platforms for compute-intensive capabilities like laser scanning and digital twin visualization.
