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, EPAConstruction Company
Fixed-price contract, no margin on variationsProject Manager
Daily oversight, documentation, progress verificationQuantity 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.

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