Founded in 2015 by Gina Cox, Utility Design Solutions was built on nearly three decades of dry utility industry experience. Beginning her career as a dry utility consultant in 1998, Gina transitioned in 2005 to managing dry utility design, processing, and coordination in-house for one of the nation's largest homebuilders before establishing UDS. Her firsthand understanding of both the developer's needs and utility company requirements shaped UDS's proactive approach, focused on anticipating challenges, streamlining approvals, and delivering results with accountability.
