What does a software development consultant do?
A software development consultant helps organizations make better technology
decisions — advising on strategy, architecture, cloud, security, delivery, and
team structure. At Techhold Developers, our consultants work with CTOs, founders,
and CIOs on technical strategy, architecture reviews, modernization, due
diligence, and CTO-as-a-service.
How much does software consulting cost in Kenya?
Software consulting in Kenya typically ranges from KES 120,000 for a focused
technical audit or architecture review to KES 500,000+ per month for a retained
CTO-as-a-service engagement. Pricing depends on scope, seniority, and duration.
Techhold Developers provides fixed-scope proposals after a free discovery call.
Do you offer CTO-as-a-Service?
Yes. Our CTO-as-a-service engagement gives you fractional senior technical
leadership — technology strategy, hiring support, vendor management, architecture
oversight, delivery governance, and board reporting — without the cost of a
full-time CTO.
Can you help us choose between build, buy, or partner?
Yes. Build/buy/partner decisions are one of our most common engagements. We
evaluate total cost, time-to-market, strategic value, and long-term ownership —
then recommend the best fit for your context.
Do you do technical due diligence for investors?
Yes. We produce independent, board-ready technical due diligence reports for
pre-investment and pre-acquisition scenarios — covering architecture, code quality,
security, team, and technical risk.
Can you review our architecture?
Yes. Architecture reviews cover scalability, modularity, resilience, security,
data flow, integration, and cost. Deliverables include diagrams, ADRs, and a
prioritised improvement roadmap.
Do you help hire technical talent?
Yes. We support hiring with org design, job specs, interview loops, technical
assessments, and candidate evaluation — either as part of CTO-as-a-service or
as a standalone engagement.
Do you provide advisory for boards and investors?
Yes. We advise boards and investors on technology investments, technical risk,
and engineering governance — including written briefings and live Q&A sessions.
Can you support a specific project or crisis?
Yes. We do short, focused engagements for specific issues — failed migrations,
scaling problems, security incidents, or delivery turnarounds. Fixed scope,
fixed price, senior oversight.
Do you work with clients outside Nairobi?
Yes. We work with clients across Kenya — Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret,
Thika — and internationally (US, UK, EU, Middle East, Africa). All work is
delivered remotely with regular video sessions and shared project spaces.
