About us

Bygherreforeningen / The Danish Association of Construction Clients (DACC) is an interest group representing 270 + professional construction clients in Denmark.

The association focuses on three strategic areas: political influence, strong communities, and a continued development of the industry.

As a member, you gain access to a unique network of likeminded professionals, courses and education, exclusive members’ events, and free online tools.

The association was established in 1999 by 28 leading (mostly public sector) clients with support from the Ministry of Housing with the goal to influence and improve the Danish construction sector.

The historical background was a public wish for increased demand for productivity improvements and greater customer orientation in construction.
