Our History

Dupless was established in 2020 by Jacob du Plessis to navigate the data complexities of cost and contract management on construction and engineering projects. With roots in South Africa and the United States, our presence has grown around the world. Dupless is ready to help clients no matter where they are.

Our History
Vision

Built on the belief that a new standard for project delivery can be achieved by focusing on cost certainty, contract precision, and proactive dispute resolution, driven by real-time data, that goes beyond collaboration tools and Excel spreadsheets.

Empowered By Data

Our Founder believed

in a comprehensive, systematic solution focused exclusively on cost and contract management across every project phase, setting us apart from others. Unlike the traditional approach, that dilute focus area's with design, scheduling, quality control, safety, and general project management, we concentrate solely on procedures and strategies that impact project costs. That's what we developed our "Early Vista Framework".

CCA

Dupless's Global Cost and Contract Advisory (CCA) group emerged to support stakeholders dealing with an evolving technological landscape. A proactive data-native approach empowers project teams to address issues before they escalate, while our targeted mitigation strategies ensure contractual disputes are avoided.
