— THE FAMILY
The husband and wife. The mother and father. The leaders.
Make home your greatest advantage.
DEVCO helps ambitious families develop a better way to live, work, and play together.
What would make a better life possible?
Better health. More freedom. Meaningful work. Great adventures. Stronger relationships. A lifetime of experiences and something worth passing on.
We all have dreams for the people we love. But realizing them takes more than working hard and hoping someday we’ll have the time.
The life we’re working for should be the life we’re living.
We're working hard to build a great life. Are we taking the time to enjoy it?
Calendars collide. Responsibilities pile up. One person carries the running list. The days are full, but somehow the things we want most keep getting pushed to someday.
We’re not short on ambition or good intentions.
What if the way our households operate is holding us back?
Build a home field advantage for the life you want to live.
Winning teams don’t leave success to chance. They develop their people, systems, facilities, and resources to perform at their best.
What if we approached our households with that same intention?
Imagine your family, daily routines, home, and property all working together to make better living possible.
Less friction. More freedom. Better living together.
Design your dream life. Build the advantage. Develop a better future.
We help families develop better households, homes, and properties so they can live better lives.
Starting at home, we connect your family’s vision with the way you live, the home you live in, and the places where you can thrive. DEVCO Living Systems is our integrated approach to intentional development and continuous improvement.
One family. One vision. A better way to live.
Better Living Household
Design the life.
Develop your family’s vision, priorities, relationships, health, activities, schedules, resources, and household operations—so everyday life supports the life you want. Our primary focus and the foundation of the Founding 100.
Better Living Home
Develop the environment.
Improve the home you have or develop a better one. Connect design, construction, renovations, environmental quality, technology, comfort, wellness, and the use of space with your family’s vision.
Better Living Property
Expand the possibilities.
Develop land, outdoor living, recreation, amenities, improvements, and destination properties around the experiences your family wants to make possible.
We are the founding family building from home.
We’re Christian and Sydney Dodge.
We’re raising boys, building a business, chasing adventures, and learning how to make the most of the life we’ve been given.
Our experience developing businesses, systems, facilities, and properties has taught us something important: the places and systems we build should serve the people and lives they’re meant to support.
We’re applying that thinking at home, developing the DEVCO model with our family first, and inviting other ambitious families to join us.
Because no family was meant to do everything alone.
