Supply Chain Optimization + Construction Cost Reduction
Built to uncover 5+% in savings.
Guaranteed.
PROFITFINDER is a strategic solution that increases project returns by unlocking construction cost savings.
PROFITFINDER brings global supply chain, manufacturing, materials, logistics, development, construction management, and contractor expertise together to help clients achieve more profitable outcomes for their projects.
The capital stack has evolved.
Your supply chain must evolve with it.
In today’s market, rising input costs, tariff uncertainty, and
increased lender scrutiny are stalling projects before they
break ground, while many that do move forward have thin
margins, with little room for error. At Strella, we understand that
maximizing returns isn’t just about securing the right site or
capital — it’s about engineering control over the cost to build.
How It Works
The Savings Guarantee
Our confidence in delivering construction cost reductions is
backed by a risk-free guarantee. For qualified projects exceeding $20M in construction budgets, PROFITFINDER delivers verified savings of at least the greater of $1,000,000 or 5% — or there is no fee.*

Why PROFITFINDER?
Factory-Direct Savings
Eliminate distributor markups and embedded subcontractor fees. We provide factory-direct materials - typically delivering 10–50% savings.
Tariff & Supply-Chain Risk Mitigation
We lock in pricing and control logistics from the factory to your job site, protecting your budget from market volatility, tariff increases, and supply disruptions.
Total Project Impact
Clients typically achieve a 5–10%+ reduction in total project costs, immediately improving Yield-on-Cost and Internal Rate of Return.
No Redesign Required
We don’t ask you to reduce the quality of your specs. We deliver like-for-like cost reductions on materials of comparable or superior quality.
A Simple Process
PROFITFINDER is Strella’s proprietary construction cost and supply-chain optimization program, delivered by a multidisciplinary team of former developers, operators, preconstruction executives, sourcing leaders, and global supply-chain strategists who have built and managed projects at national scale. Strella’s team has held senior leadership roles overseeing construction, procurement, and operations for some of the largest builders and developers in North America, with responsibility for full-cycle project execution - from entitlement and preconstruction through materials procurement, logistics, and close-out. PROFITFINDER is designed for developers, owners, and operators seeking measurable, underwritten
construction savings that improve project feasibility, return on cost, and capital efficiency - before contracts are finalized and capital is committed.
- PROVEN SCALE. MEASURABLE SAVINGS. REPEATABLE RESULTS.
Strella’s experience includes leading regional and national purchasing organizations, building global manufacturer networks, negotiating exclusive supply agreements, managing prefabrication and distribution platforms, and executing portfolio-wide material standardization programs across multifamily, build-to-rent, student housing, hospitality, and mixed-use developments.
Collectively, the Strella team has managed more than $900M in annual materials spend and delivered consistent 5% - 10%+ construction cost reductions through disciplined sourcing, manufacturing, logistics, and procurement strategies. These results are driven by real execution—spanning construction, engineering, purchasing, and supply-chain operations - not theoretical value engineering. This depth of experience enables Strella to confidently stand behind a 5%+ savings outcome for qualifying projects.
- BUILT TO GUARANTEE RESULTS
PROFITFINDER is not a pricing exercise or a sourcing shortcut. It is a structured, execution-driven approach that leverages Strella’s direct manufacturer relationships, global sourcing infrastructure, logistics control, and project-level sequencing expertise.
By addressing cost at the manufacturing, supply-chain, and delivery level, ProfitFinder consistently identifies savings opportunities that traditional procurement and value engineering processes cannot access. This is what allows Strella to offer a 5%+ construction savings guarantee - grounded in proven methodology, not assumptions.
- TURNING CONSTRUCTION EFFICIENCY INTO IMPROVED PROJECT ECONOMICS.
Unlike traditional value engineering, PROFITFINDER focuses on how materials are designed, manufactured, sourced, and delivered, not just what is specified. By optimizing the full supply chain, Strella converts construction efficiency directly into improved project economics—enhancing yield, return on cost, and overall capital stack performance without compromising design intent, quality, or schedule. PROFITFINDER is purpose-built for sophisticated, forward thinking sponsors who value clarity before commitment, confidence before contracts, and results that materially impact project returns.
