The Devin proposition

Traditional property development concentrates risk in a single party.
The Devin Model removes that risk entirely.                                       

Investors benefit from:

  • Full capital control at all times

  • Independent validation of every payment

  • No exposure to developer insolvency or mismanagement

  • Refinancing on completion to recover invested capital

  • Ongoing ownership of a stabilised Build-to-Rent asset

This is not speculative development.
It is governed capital deployment.

How the Devin Model Works

Capital Protection from Day One

  • The investor supplies 100% of project funding

  • All funds are held in a dedicated escrow account

  • Funds are never controlled by a developer or builder

  • Payments are released only against verified milestones

Triple signatory authorisation is mandatory:

  • Investor

  • Independent Quantity Surveyor (QS)

  • Independent Project Manager

No single party can move capital unilaterally.

Independent Validation at Every Stage

Each phase of the project is delivered and validated independently:

  • Consultant Group
    Design, Resource Consent, Building Consent, EPA

  • Construction Company
    Fixed-price contract, no margin on variations

  • Project Manager
    Daily oversight, documentation, progress verification

  • Quantity Surveyor
    Monthly financial and construction validation

Payments are released only when all validations align.

Fixed-Price Construction with Aligned Incentives

  • Proven construction partners

  • Fixed-price contracts

  • No margin or management fee on variations

  • Proof of subcontractor payment required before drawdowns

This structure removes the incentive for cost overruns and delays.

Completion, Refinance, and Capital Return

Upon completion:

  • The asset is independently valued

  • Refinanced through a major bank

  • 100% of the investor’s capital is reimbursed

  • The investor retains 100% ownership of the asset

The result:

  • A stabilised Build-to-Rent property

  • Institutional-grade governance

  • Ongoing cashflow

  • No capital remaining at risk

This is where infinite ROI is achieved.

What Devin Ltd Does (and Does Not Do)

Devin Ltd is not a developer and does not take construction risk.

Devin Ltd provides:

  • Ownership of the Devin Model IP

  • Process design and enforcement

  • Development management consulting during consent stages

  • Sourcing and coordination of independent parties

  • Ongoing operational governance through the iLive platform

Devin Ltd does not:

  • Hold investor funds

  • Construct buildings

  • Validate payments

  • Certify progress

This separation is deliberate and central to investor protection.
