NJ Design & Build - Najmna 34 Google reviewsPosted on Google Christina Johnson I am writing to highly recommend Moe of NJ Design and Build for his exceptional work as a contractor. Moe and his team recently completed the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in my backyard for my father, and the entire experience was nothing short of excellent. From the outset, Moe impressed us with his professionalism, transparency, and deep knowledge of the construction process. He took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and offered valuable design insights, and helped us navigate every step of construction with patience and care. The quality of workmanship delivered by NJ Design and Build was outstanding. The ADU was built with great attention to detail, on time, and within the agreed budget. Moe maintained consistent communication throughout the project and was always accessible when needed, ensuring we were informed and comfortable with all decisions being made. His crew was respectful and skilled, a true reflection of his leadership and standards. What stood out most was Moe’s genuine care for our family's needs. He understood that this ADU was not just another project, but a home for my father, and he treated it with the same consideration and integrity he would for his own family. I would not hesitate to work with Moe again and wholeheartedly recommend NJ Design and Build to anyone in need of a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy contractor. They truly deliver on their promise of quality and client satisfaction. Thank you Moe and team for a job well done. Sincerely, Christina Johnson Poway, CAPosted on Google Nicole Abeid We hired Najmna to build an ADU in our backyard and the experience exceeded expectations. They handled the permits, construction, and inspections seamlessly. What I appreciated most was their transparency—no hidden costs, just honest work.

She took care of all city permits with hassle free on my end. She is very knowledgeable and knows how to take care of all permits).Moe has a very kind and honest heart ( it’s very rare to find a contractor with this beautiful quality) 1.

They designed and permitted my ADU and knew exactly how to deal with the city. Everything stayed on track 3. Professional and easy to work with. They explained everything clearly, took care of the permits, and the finished ADU turned out great. 4. I didn’t know where to start with an ADU, but they handled it all plans, permits, and construction. Made the whole process much less stressful. 5. Great experience. They managed the permit headaches for me and kept the project movingPosted on Google Stephen Nissou Best builder in San Diego. They helped me build 2 ADUs and I appreciate their persistence in finishing the job as fast as possible.Posted on Google WTD MIC Engineering and permitting process was good and fairly seemless. Price was competitive and initial demolition was good as expected. Tile layer is skilled and professional. Some of finish carpenters, etc. we’re lacking experience and quality control as appeared to be a shortage ok skilled labor. Moe the GM was very responsive, flexible, and pleasant to work with.Posted on Google Sean Canto It was nice to be able to have everything done by one company, from architect to construction.Posted on Google Alan Reitman Did a great job fixing what another contractor really messed up. They are very professional and experts in what they do.

NJ Design & Build is structured for federal work, with
experience navigating FAR/DFARS clauses, agency submittal portals, and security-cleared site requirements across San Diego and the California military region.
Our integrated design-build approach reduces change
orders, compresses schedules, and produces transparent cost data that aligns with federal
audit and progress-payment standards.
We tailor every scope to the agency's mission profile
— from secure DoD support facilities to public-facing civilian buildings — delivering
performance outcomes, not generic deliverables.
Our federal compliance construction work is built to serve agency missions for decades — engineered for resilience, security, and sustainability. We partner with government clients and primes to deliver infrastructure the public sector can rely on.
We deliver federally funded public works — roadways, bridges, water systems, and transit improvements — under DOT, FHWA, and EPA program requirements. Our team manages federal-aid documentation, Davis-Bacon wage compliance, and environmental controls so projects move from obligation to ribbon-cutting on schedule and within appropriated budgets.
We construct mission-specific facilities for defense, research,
and public-safety operations, including hardened structures, secure-access buildings, and technical support spaces. Each scope is built to UFC criteria and ATFP standards, with QA/QC documentation and cleared personnel where contract requirements call for
restricted-area access.
We modernize occupied GSA, VA, and DoD
buildings with phased construction that protects continuity of operations. Scopes include
MEP overhauls, seismic retrofits, ADA/ABAAS upgrades, secure-area buildouts, and historic-sensitive interiors — all delivered with minimal mission disruption and full agency reporting throughout execution.
We mobilize quickly for FEMA, USACE, and agency-led recovery contracts, providing rapid stabilization, debris management, and restoration of essential federal facilities. Our crews operate under accelerated procurement timelines while maintaining safety, environmental, and documentation standards required for federal
disaster reimbursement.
We integrate LEED, ENERGY STAR, and Guiding Principles–aligned strategies into federal renovations and new builds. Scopes include solar- ready electrical systems, high-efficiency HVAC, water conservation, and envelope improvements that support agency sustainability targets and federal energy-reduction mandates.
We operate as a SAM.gov-registered contractor with
bonding capacity and processes built around FAR/DFARS, Buy American Act, and Davis-
Bacon obligations. From representations and certifications to closeout submittals, our team
produces the documentation contracting officers expect — accurate, auditable, and on time.
