General contracting across Texas — custom homes, multi-family, commercial, hospitality, and education — since 2004. New Braunfels-based, statewide-capable.
What We Build
Original-design residences built across the Hill Country and beyond. We work with your architect or bring our own, and we manage every trade from foundation to final walkthrough. Limestone, cedar, steel, glass — we build what the design calls for.
Apartments, townhomes, and mixed-income communities built to perform for owners and residents alike. Shared utilities, soundproofing, code compliance, and amenity buildouts as core competencies — not afterthoughts. Market-rate or affordable, ground-up or repositioning.
Office, retail, light industrial, and tenant improvements across Central Texas. Ground-up commercial builds and existing-building fit-outs handled with the same rigor: clean schedules, clear budgets, subs we have worked with for years. One point of contact from preconstruction through closeout.
Property-wide refreshes and brand-standard renovations for hospitality owners. Guestroom retrofits, public-space refreshes, exterior upgrades, FF&E procurement and installation, and PIP execution — sequenced to keep your hotel operating and your guests undisturbed. We plan around occupancy, not against it.
Classroom updates, flooring installation, fixture replacement, and full retrofits for private and charter schools. We schedule around the academic calendar, mobilize aggressively over breaks, and treat occupied campuses as the high-stakes environments they are. Safe sites, learning spaces ready when students return.
The umbrella service for owners who do not need a ground-up build. Adaptive reuse, gut renovations, mechanical and envelope retrofits, code upgrades, and phased work in occupied buildings. If a structure has good bones, we will help you decide what to keep, what to replace, and what it will cost.
Industries We Serve
We have spent two decades learning the conventions of six different markets — and learning how each market punishes contractors who confuse them.
A hotel renovation is not a tenant improvement. A school retrofit is not a multi-family unit turn. We do not pretend they are.
Selected Work
A small selection. Full portfolio available on request — including hospitality, multi-family, and institutional projects suited to your sector.
Two Decades · Hill Country · Statewide
“Trusted across hospitality, education, and residential work in the Texas Hill Country — built by people who live in the towns where the projects stand.”
Why Nate Development
Two decades of work across New Braunfels, San Antonio, Austin, and the surrounding region. Long enough to have learned what holds up in the Texas climate and what does not.
Preconstruction, design coordination, self-perform where it makes sense, subcontractor management, and final punch-list — under one contract, with one point of accountability.
Hotels stay open. Schools stay in session. Multi-family residents stay housed. We sequence work to protect operations — not the other way around.
You speak to the same project lead from the first site walk to the last warranty call. No handoffs. No retelling the story to the next person who picks up the file.
The subs we use have worked with us long enough that quality, schedule, and safety are assumed, not negotiated bid by bid.
New Braunfels-based, statewide-capable, and answerable to clients who live down the road from our office.
Our Process
Site walk, scope conversation, budget banding, and an honest read on what is buildable on your site, schedule, and budget. No charge for the first conversation.
Estimating, value engineering, drawing review with your architect (or ours), permitting strategy, and a confirmed schedule. You see real numbers before you commit.
Final budget, signed contract, subs locked, long-lead items ordered, site set up, and a single project lead assigned to you for the duration.
Weekly owner updates, transparent change-order process, on-site supervision, and quality checkpoints at foundation, dry-in, and finishes. Phased around occupied operations.
Punch-list completion, owner walkthrough, warranty package handed over, and a 12-month check-in. We answer the phone after the ribbon is cut.
About
Serj Natekin · Founder · Since 2004
Nate Development was founded in New Braunfels in 2004 by Serj Natekin. We started as a custom-home builder in the Texas Hill Country and have grown into a full-scale general contractor serving six markets — residential, multi-family, commercial, hospitality, education, and adaptive reuse.
The work is the same in every market: do the right thing at all times, build relationships that outlast the project, and hand a building back to its owner ready to do its job.
We work where we live. We answer the phone after the ribbon is cut. The towns where our projects stand are the towns where we run errands on Saturday morning.
