Our Story.
Providing excellence in construction since 1986.
From Florida to Kansas
Copeland Development and Construction was incorporated in 1986 by David Copeland and his father, Jerry Copeland. Prior to this, David grew up and worked closely with his father, grandfather and uncle in a family-owned general contracting and development business.
From 1988 thru 1991, CDCC was a 50% partner in Copeland Development Group (an entity composed of David, his father, his uncle and his cousin, specifically established to develop and construct HUD Turnkey Apartment Housing units in Florida).
Upon the death of Jerry Copeland in 1990, David completed the work in process in Florida and then moved back to the Kansas City area. Since that time, CDCC has enjoyed constant growth and continues to diversify. We attribute much of our success to a continuing dedication to quality service and customer satisfaction.
Optimization & Growth
In July 2009, we hired a consulting firm to evaluate and analyze every area and process of our company to determine how to perform more efficiently. We restructured some positions, created new positions, and hired additional people. We also created and instituted new internal systems that allowed us to be more responsive, perform more quickly, and reduce costs to our new customers.
In response to our current customer relationships and growth strategy, our range has greatly expanded to include: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. As new opportunities arise, we will expand with our customers into those markets.
Our Accreditation & Commitment to Sustainability
We are members of the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC), the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), and the Missouri Bankers Association (MBA).
"Thank you for a job very well done. Your company is to be commended for an outstanding job. The community still talks about the fact that the job was completed ahead of schedule at a time when most projects were running well behind."
- Chairman, Platte Valley Bank of Missouri
