Why CDS

Why Concho Development Services

We represent owners, developers, builders, engineers, architects, and property owners in navigating municipal review processes efficiently and successfully. Our founders wrote the playbook — now they work for you. Founded by three former senior City of San Angelo officials with 90+ years of combined experience, we know how projects move through the system and how to keep them moving.

Our Values

01

Insider Expertise

Our team served in the very departments that review your projects. We understand the process from the inside out — what reviewers look for, what causes delays, and how to structure approvals efficiently.

02

Single Point of Contact

Instead of juggling multiple departments, work with one team that coordinates across Planning, Engineering, Fire Marshal, Health, Inspection Services, and Utilities on your behalf.

03

Risk Mitigation

We conduct compliance gap analysis before submission, minimizing costly change orders and reducing the risk of project delays, incomplete submissions, and frustrating back-and-forth.

04

Results-Driven

From permit application to certificate of occupancy, we manage the entire process with a focus on keeping your project on timeline and on budget.
