Commercial Construction

Synergy Projects is a commercial and institutional general contractor headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. With decades of experience, they specialize in building better communities through a commitment to construction excellence and continuous improvement.

The Challenge

Lack of procurement standardization

Synergy Projects is a full-service general contractor based in Edmonton, known for delivering innovative and community-driven construction projects across Alberta.

While the company prides itself on quality and collaboration, their procurement process was lacking consistency and structure.

Slow follow-ups & approvals

"Everyone had a different process."

We didn't have a consistent way to track purchasing from the field. And that makes it hard to get control of spending.

The solution

Standardized ordering from field to office

Synergy adopted QuoteToMe to unify materials and rental sourcing from the field, turning a scattered process into a streamlined workflow.

"It keeps everything centralized."

QuoteToMe enabled us to make more informed spending decisions.

The rollout

From pilot program to multi-team adoption in weeks

The Synergy team began with a pilot program on a few key project sites to test out QuoteToMe. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

Even team members who may have been resistant to change saw the immediate benefit of a transparent system that made ordering easier.

Why Snergy Projects chose QuoteToMe

Synergy considered other tools but found them too bulky or poorly suited to construction field teams.

From one builder to another

I’ve had the chance to sit down with thousands of contractors over the years — in jobsite trailers, across boardroom tables, and even on the back of a tailgate. What’s always stood out to me is how much pressure this industry carries: tight timelines, tighter margins, and zero room for error.

Construction is what builds our communities, but the people doing the building haven't always had tools that match the pace and pressure of the industry. That’s why we built QuoteToMe — to help teams work better together, take tedious admin work off your plates, and give you the visibility you need to stay on time and budget.

We're here to give the construction community the tools it deserves. Tools that are approachable and helpful for everyone from the field to the office. If you’re ready to take control of your spending, we’re ready to help.
