DevCom Ltd is a specialist consultancy founded in 2016 by our director team. We bridge the gap between initial concept and site commencement — ensuring that every project we touch is technically compliant, buildable, and efficient before a single sod is turned.
With a combined team experience exceeding 80 years, we provide a genuinely director-led service — with the principals engaged and hands-on throughout, bringing depth of knowledge at every critical juncture of the pre-construction process.
We work across residential development, affordable housing, extra care and supported living — serving national Tier 1 contractors, SME contractors, registered providers of social housing and local authorities.
