Testimonials

“Synergy were chosen following a competitive tender process, which showed that Synergy were competitive on price and had good experience of the type of works, the form of contract, and working with our likely contractors and our chosen Architect.

The relationship with Synergy has proved problem free, with measurements and cost reports provided on time, and additional advice provided when requested. All in all an excellent appointment for us.”

Hazlemere Church

“Synergy has consistently provided careful and considered Project Management and Cost Consultancy support and guidance to  the Abbey and the rest of Footprint team truly ‘getting under the skin’ of the project to fully understand our future needs and develop with us a well-considered design and sensitive construction solution.  We are now continuing to enjoy working with Synergy during the delivery phase as we forge ahead with our plans to make this ambitious and transformative project a reality”

Bath Abbey

“We have worked with Synergy over the past three years – delivering a museum in Somerset. My experience of Synergy has been nothing short of stupendous! The team work hard, deliver to deadlines, provide balanced and well-rounded cost advise (for both large strategic ideas / options as well as detailed changes / amends), but most importantly to me is the ‘part of the same team pushing in the same direction approach”

Stonewood Design

“The Stowe House Preservation Trust has worked with Synergy for over ten years and their professional advice has served us well through one of the most extensive and costly restorations of any English country house. In the course of our work, we have delivered over £20m worth of restoration projects to the highest standards of quality, within budget and to timescales that enable us to continue running a major independent boarding school within a Grade I listed building. Synergy Bare Leaning and Bare’s advice is always considered, timely and accurate and they are an excellent company with whom to work.”

Stowe House Preservation Trust

“The staff with whom I have worked at Synergy have an excellent and well-grounded understanding of historic buildings, which is vital to performing well in this field. They have consistently demonstrated a thorough-going 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.”

English Heritage

“Synergy were the School’s preferred quantity surveyors for our new project to build ‘state of the art’ learning facilities for the pre-prep department and an art, design and technology suite of classrooms all contained in a two storey building. The construction raised various challenges from the outset with the demolition of an existing building on the site and the requirement to blister on to existing classrooms without interruption. The design and materials that were to be used to produce an environmentally friendly building also gave the Quantity Surveyors some headaches to resolve. I am pleased to say that Synergy always managed to ensure their client was given a first class service and ensured that the costs were kept to budget.”
