Why Devstra Exists
Devstra gives developers, investors, and delivery teams a clear sense-check on their project before committing to contractors, timelines, or spend.
We’re here to reduce risk, improve outcomes, and stop avoidable mistakes in their tracks — through structured, independent Health Checks at the stage where they matter most.
Who We Are:
Devstra is a specialist consultancy made up of experienced Project Managers, construction professionals, and development advisors — supported by expertise across planning, commercial strategy, energy, legal, lettings, and finance.
Our team brings together a blend of hands-on site experience and strategic insight — enabling us to review each project with real-world context across buildability, compliance, cost, and delivery.
Every Health Check is reviewed by our internal leads, with contributions from relevant members of the wider Devstra team depending on the project’s needs.
That means our clients benefit from multi-disciplinary expertise — without the cost, delay, or complexity of coordinating it themselves.
Why We Started
We built Devstra after years of watching small-to-mid-sized projects fall apart for predictable and avoidable reasons.
There was no single point of failure: sometimes it was unclear design, other times unrealistic costs or assumptions around delivery. But the common theme was always the same — no structured, independent review before the build began.
Projects between £100k and £3m often don’t have a QS, PM, or technical consultant involved early. And without that early checkpoint, clients go in blind — exposing themselves to overspends, disputes, timeline collapse and missed opportunities.
Devstra was created to fill that gap.
Our Mission:
To give developers the clarity, structure, and expert input they need before they build — through independent, real-world insight that de-risks their project and improves the path to delivery.
What Makes Us Different:
Independent and honest
Fast turnaround
Focused only on early-stage risk
No upsells - just straight advice
Built for smaller projects
