Commercial & Residential General Contractor
South Jersey & Philadelphia
Builder One Inc. is a licensed general contractor serving homeowners, investors, and commercial property owners across South Jersey, Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore, and Delaware. Owner Sam Troilo started as a laborer in Philadelphia in the 1990s and later led the development of a 200-unit building conversion at Penn Treaty Village. Thirty years later, he still plans the job, manages the budget, runs the crews, and does the work himself when the job calls for it.
Who we build for
Developers and investors. Commercial property owners. Homeowners. One contractor who speaks all three langauges.
Developers and Investors
You are looking at a building or a portfolio of units, and need to know if the deal works before you pay for drawings. Sam has walked hundreds of structures, drawn unit layouts himself, pulled permits, bought materials direct, and delivered under budget. He has done it as the developer's director, with his own money, and for investors who still call him.
Commercial Property Owners
You own a mixed-use building, a storefront, or office space that needs to lease faster and at a higher rate. Sam handles fit-outs, structural upgrades, and code work while your tenants stay open. He knows commercial zoning, inspectors, and how to sequence a job so lower floors earn while upper floors are completed.
Homeowners
Kitchen, bath, basement, addition, or water damage – we can take care of it. Sam brings 30 years of hands-on residential experience to your home, keeps the job site clean, and doesn't charge you for what you don't need.

Why Builder One Inc.?
Thirty years of knowing where the money goes.
The Real Thing
Plenty of contractors say they have done it all. Sam can show you the buildings. Thirty years from laborer to Director of Development, with the framing, the finish work, the permits, the budgets, and the 200-unit conversions in between. He has seen the rot behind the drywall and the change order that doubles the budget, and he plans for both before the first wall opens. There is no version of your project he has not already built.
Pricing You Can Audit
Sam makes every selection and signs every bill. He buys direct and in bulk, builds a buffer into every budget, and frontloads foundation and framing so you don't pay draw fees twice. His last build finished under budget without touching contingency. Ask him how.
Schedule Certainty
Time is money. Whether you’re waiting to move into a new home, reopen a storefront, or list a multi-unit property, Sam sets the schedule and holds it. If crews stand around waiting for materials, you lose money. He doesn’t let that happen.
Clean, Safe, and Compliant
Strict dust control, daily tool cleanup, OSHA 30 standards, and photos of pre-existing conditions before work starts. Your home stays livable, your business stays open, and your investment property passes inspection.
