A dedicated development team in Europe should embed in your GitHub, show up in stand-ups, and answer when procurement asks where people actually sit. It is not a slide that says “local presence” with a mailbox you never visit.
CodeLoop Studio staffs dedicated pods and single seniors from Sarajevo for UK, DACH, and EU product orgs. Start at dedicated development team for UK / EU teams or read staff augmentation for UK / EU product teams for overlap hours and embedding detail.
Dedicated team, staff augmentation or project — at a glance
| Staff augmentation | Dedicated team | Project / MVP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who joins | One or more seniors in your squad | A 3–4 person mobile and web pod | A studio team that owns the milestone |
| Whose process | Yours (tickets, stand-ups, Definition of Done) | Yours, with a named lead on our side | Ours, with weekly demos |
| Best when | You have a roadmap and lack hands | You need a stable capacity block for months | You need a first version shipped |
| Start | After a short repo and access audit | After roles and overlap hours are agreed | After discovery and a frozen scope |
| Pricing | Written monthly range after roles | Written monthly range after roles | Written estimate for the slice |

Pod of 3–4 versus one senior
A typical ask is a 3–4 person mobile and web pod: iOS, Android, Flutter or React Native, plus Next.js when the admin is in scope. Smaller teams add one senior to an existing squad — audit the repo first, then your tickets. We do not silently rewrite unless that is the brief. Full product builds live on React Native app development for UK / EU teams.
Monthly cost is a written range after roles. We do not publish a fake day-rate hero on the website. Swiss, German, and UK buyers get CET overlap; US East Coast teams get ET morning live and async updates after.
Staff augmentation inside your process
Your Linear, Jira, Figma, Slack or Teams. Your definition of done. Named owner on our side, QA behind the engineer, studio accountability when the sprint ends — not a contractor who disappears. That is the difference between team extension and a résumé marketplace.
Nearshore context — timezone honesty and unit cost versus a local London or Zurich squad at the same seniority — lives on nearshore software development for UK and EU teams and the companion article nearshore vs offshore in 2026.
Questions procurement should get on page one
Where do people sit? Sarajevo. Remote-first. No invented EU street address.
Who owns delivery? Named owner on our side, QA behind the engineer, studio accountable after the sprint.
How is cost quoted? Monthly range after roles — not a hero day-rate. Brief via online estimate.
Staff augmentation for Swiss and German product teams
Swiss and German in-house teams extending mobile and web capacity usually want the same three things: engineers on the same clock (Sarajevo is on CET, the same as Zurich and Berlin), English in stand-ups and documentation, and a vendor that says where people sit. CodeLoop Studio is a studio in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina — no office in Zurich, Berlin or London.
When a scoped build beats augmentation
If you need a milestone owned end-to-end — MVP, store launch, a painful native module — brief MVP development or custom mobile app development instead. Augmentation wins when your roadmap is clear and capacity is the bottleneck.
FAQ
Staff augmentation adds one or more engineers to your squad and your process. A dedicated team is a stable 3–4 person pod with a named lead that still works in your tools but is scoped as a capacity block. A project hands one milestone to us end to end.
CodeLoop Studio in Sarajevo embeds iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native and Next.js engineers with UK, DACH and EU product teams. Compare us with other vendors on Clutch and ask each one for named engineers and a repo audit before you sign.
Yes. Sarajevo shares the CET working day with Zurich and Berlin; stand-ups, documentation and tickets run in English inside your GitHub, Jira or Linear, Slack or Teams.
It depends on role mix, seniority, overlap hours and how much QA sits behind the engineers. We send a written monthly range after the roles are clear and do not publish a banner day rate.
