Nepal, like most developing countries, had to import comparatively high cost expatriate technical manpower for development initiation like feasibility studies, planning, design, tender documents preparation and construction supervision. However, it began, like other developing countries, to develop its own expertise in different engineering fields.

Higher technical and management know-how has been acquired over the years, either by co-working with or working directly under the guidance of the expatriates. To fill up the existing void in the technical know-how, and eventually to fulfill the development needs of the country by national experts, Devtec Nepal Pvt. Ltd. was established as a Private Limited Company.
