Meet JBD
JBD are my initials. Joshua Brennan Diesner is my full name. Josh is just fine. My wife and I moved to Cranford in 2019. We have one son in preschool, and a dog named Jimmy.
I am a carpenter by trade, turned NYC Licensed Construction Superintendent. I left a job at one of the top nationwide builders to start this company. At the time I had been working in commercial construction for over a decade. My role was to bring clarity to complicated projects: understand what was being built, plan it carefully, and execute the work in the field. I couldn't shake the thought that I could bring that kind of predictability to the residential construction market. I had been doing it at the highest levels for years. So, I jumped.
Born and raised in NJ. I graduated Seton Hall Prep and the University of Maryland, College Park.
our Core Values
How We are different
The goal of JBD Builders is to bring that high level of service and predictability that I have learned in the commercial world to the local market. In commercial construction there is the expectation that you finish on schedule, you finish on budget, and you communicate regularly and openly throughout the process.
Here is how we are different:
1 - I am going to give you the cost for your entire project. Cabinets, light fixtures, even a final cleaning when we're done.
2 - We leverage technology. You can access the budget, the drawings, the schedule, all in real time from the JobTread platform whenever you want.
3 - Our budget is itemized. You will see line by line what things cost.
4 - You will receive a schedule. It includes procurement timeframes and dates, as well as all major construction activities through punch list.
5 - We will hold weekly job meetings to review all of the above, budget schedule, etc.
