    I have found you and your staff to be very knowledgeable in regards to health care mechanical and electrical design.  It is good to know that I can approach health care clients with confidence that you have provided a complete design of the appropriate systems for their facility.

    The quality of the [feasibility study provided by Synergy] led the district to immediately retain Synergy to design a new boiler plant and serve as construction manager... After one year of working with Synergy, I can say without hesitation that our assessment of their company was accurate. From the budget development stage to the punch lists, Synergy offers their experience as "your representation."

    We were impressed with the end product deliverable, a commissioning report that includes detailed results of the functional tests, which will be very useful to the Owner and our design team in resolving the many deficiencies discovered by Synergy throughout the Commissioning process.
