In a field often slowed by fragmented subcontracting and costly delays, The Built Companies is proving there’s a better way. Headquartered in Randolph, N.J., the firm has built a reputation for efficiency, quality, and foresight by uniting multiple trades under one roof.

Specializing in framing, insulation, firestopping, drywall, ceilings, doors, hardware, and trim, the company manages the critical interior phases of construction with an integrated approach that eliminates handoffs and bottlenecks.

Experience at the Core

Though founded in 2023, The Built Companies is led by a seasoned team with more than 80 years of combined expertise. Co-CEO and CFO Todd Sawyer learned the trades as a teenager in his father’s insulation business before building one of New Jersey’s largest insulation firms. After selling that company, he returned to the industry to co-found The Built Companies alongside Charles “Charley” Wood, a veteran framer who scaled one of the state’s largest framing firms, and Daniel Correa, a Brazilian-born engineer who worked his way from framing crew member to COO.

Together, they’ve shaped a culture grounded in hands-on knowledge, financial discipline, and a drive to do things differently.

A Turnkey Advantage

At the heart of the company’s model is its Multi-Trade Turnkey System—a structure designed to solve the coordination issues that often stall construction projects. If a framing adjustment is needed during insulation, the issue is addressed internally and immediately, without requiring outside subcontractors or costly delays.

“We make jobsite problems virtually invisible to our clients,” says Sawyer. “That’s a huge value in an industry where time truly is money.”

Despite launching in an uncertain economy, The Built Companies is on track to exceed $100 million in revenue by 2025, supported by a team of 50 professionals across engineering, estimating, operations, and project management.

The company’s growth is fueled by strategic patience rather than price cutting. Sawyer emphasizes long-term profitability, maintaining a cash buffer, reinvesting in the business, and navigating market cycles with discipline. “Downturns don’t last forever,” he notes, “but neither do booms.”

Proven Results

The firm’s work at Clarus Berkeley Heights, a 211-unit mixed-use development by JMF Properties, showcases the strength of its integrated model. From framing and insulation to drywall and finishing, The Built Companies handled the entire scope, ensuring both speed and quality.

Strong partnerships with trusted suppliers like Park Union Lumber, Johns Manville, and CertainTeed further reinforce reliability in delivery.

As the company grows, Sawyer and his partners are eyeing expansion into complementary trades through strategic acquisitions. Their ultimate goal: provide clients with a fully integrated experience that maximizes value from planning to project completion.

Beyond business, Sawyer remains candid about who he is: a finance-minded leader who thrives on numbers, loves golf (despite claiming he isn’t good), and dreams of traveling the world. At the heart of it all is his father’s enduring influence, a legacy that continues to guide his leadership philosophy.

In an industry defined by volatility, The Built Companies stands out for its stability, foresight, and innovative approach. By combining deep trade expertise with a streamlined turnkey model, they’re not just constructing buildings—they’re reshaping the future of construction.
