Testimonials

“Synergy were project managers and quantity surveyors on our new £6.25m Sixth Form Service. The construction was let and delivered during COVID-19 and the quality of their advice was excellent in dealing with the unprecedented challenges this caused. The project also came in perfectly in line with the budget we set at the outset which was a fantastic result.”

Worth School

“They have consistently demonstrated a thorough attention to detail. I have found them very efficient in delivery, even when under pressure to produce tender documents in tight timescales. This is a highly professional firm, and always a reliable source of independent, objective cost advice.”

Nick Hill, National Conservation Projects Manager, English Heritage

“We worked with Synergy on the delivery of a £4.5m rebuild of a block of technology and art classrooms – from feasibility to project completion. The team were professional and collaborative at all times, and went the extra mile in terms of the final stages and snagging. The end result is a high quality space for teaching and learning that will enable the school to grow.”

Tom Flynn, Chief Operating Officer, Girl’s Learning Trust

“Since delivering the Museum, Synergy have become our first recommendation to our clients for independent QS services. We are currently working on four further projects with them and experiencing exactly the same level of service, advice and professionalism. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Synergy have a detailed knowledge of the BET estate and always respond speedily to any request for information or action. They have access to a wide network of approved contractors so are able to provide a range of competitive tenders for every project, no matter what size or complexity…I would have no hesitation in recommending Synergy to any MAT seeking specialist support with their estate.”
