A San Antonio-based general contracting firm founded by two construction veterans with decades of hands-on experience across hotels, luxury residential, and large-scale commercial projects in Texas.
Kinetic Development is a San Antonio-based general contracting firm founded by experienced builders with a proven track record across Texas. Our leadership has delivered hotels, luxury residential communities, and large-scale commercial projects in Houston, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio.
We handle every phase — from ground-breaking to certificate of occupancy. No flipping scope to subs and hoping for the best. We are the builder, the problem-solver, and the partner accountable for every nail in the wall.
Delivered full-service hotel projects with the complexity, timeline pressure, and quality standards the hospitality sector demands.
Custom homes and multi-unit residential developments built to the finish level discerning buyers expect and inspectors can't fault.
Site work, structural, MEP coordination, and finishes — we manage the full build cycle on commercial projects from pad to punch-list.
We work alongside investors, developers, and landowners as a construction partner who understands pro formas, timelines, and capital protection.
Two founders. One shared standard: deliver what is promised, on time and on budget.
James Chambers is a builder at heart, with over 20 years of experience in real estate development, engineering, and operations. As Co-Founder of Kinetic Development, he leads business development, capital strategy, and operations — driving projects from initial concept through execution.
His focus is simple: move fast, stay on budget, and deliver quality without compromise.
An Air Force veteran and engineer, James has led initiatives spanning startups to Fortune 500 companies, consistently delivering complex projects through disciplined execution and innovation. He brings a systems-driven mindset into construction to create more efficient, scalable, and impactful developments — and takes pride in seeing projects come to life through the collective effort of a strong team.
Guadalupe De Los Santos is a construction professional and developer with decades of hands-on experience at every level of the industry. He started building in 7th grade woodshop, grew up in Dickinson, Texas, and worked his way through every phase of construction at Guian Construction — eventually taking over the company when the original owner retired.
As Co-Founder of Kinetic Development, Lupe brings a results-driven, practical approach to every project. He has managed full job sites independently, led ground-up builds, and built a reputation for accountability, deep cost management knowledge, and an unmatched work ethic.
His vision is clear: build functional, high-quality residential communities that deliver long-term ROI for investors while creating lasting value for the families who call them home.
Whether you're an investor, developer, or homeowner — let's have a conversation about what we can build together.
