Build a better life. Start at home.
DEVCO helps you align the places, people and activities shaping your life—so more of your time, energy and money goes toward better health, more fun and lasting impact.
The whole picture
As life grows, there is more to steward well.
Business, home, property, health, children, relationships and the future all compete for the same finite resources: your family’s time, energy and money.
Meaningful success creates opportunity—and greater responsibility. The question is whether the places around you, the people beside you and the activities filling your days are working together toward the life your family actually wants.
DEVCO helps families see the whole, decide what matters most and build forward in the right order.
How DEVCO helps
One development company. Three ways to build forward.
We start with the family’s bigger picture, then help develop the systems, outcomes and places that support the life you are building.
Plan and lead a defined outcome.
Custom engagements where DEVCO helps establish the objective, organize the right people and decisions, and carry important work forward.

Founder-led from real life
A founder-led family building for other families building meaningful lives.
Christian and Sydney Dodge are building DEVCO through Team Dodge—their family, faith, work, responsibilities, adventures and conviction that better living has to be practiced before it can be passed on.
DEVCO combines decades of ownership, design-build work, building systems, project leadership and property stewardship with the daily reality of raising a family, pursuing meaningful work and trying to steward a good life well.
The Hoxby House—our family’s current home base and DEVCO’s first living laboratory—is where we test, document and improve these ideas in real life.
