Collaboration and people like you create value to our clients. **★ — HU-81171689, July 2020** > Sub contractors and customers beware. Late payments to sub trades, Asks for fast and cheap work. This company is operated by intuition but not according to building codes. The General Contractor is fast to pass on the blame for their mistakes and demanding unreasonable solutions right away. Half the time doesn't know what he is doing at all. Rarely on site. Very mickey mouse. Stay away by all means. **Comment from Synthesis Builder Inc.:** > We are very sorry that you feel this way. Your feedback is important to us to thrive and improve every interaction. We wish that you had brought these issues to our attention when we were working together as we feel that these are misconceptions of how we work. **★★★★★ — HU-933538061, June 2020** > I really wanted to renovate my home and was overwhelmed with the choices for paints (colours and feature walls), ceiling lights (design), new flooring (material) and a few other tweaks. > > With a bucket list of ideas and Covid-19 in the foreground, I was naturally apprehensive about the ability to do this project at all. Mao at Synthesis took the time to listen and gave expert recommendations based on my wants and needs, and executed on the project extremely well. Equally impressive was the constant communication throughout the process. > > I was extremely happy with the end result and the execution of the work. Mao followed up with me several times after the renovations to ensure I was happy with the work which truly shows that he cares about his clients and stands behind his work. **★★★★★ — Helen Lee, June 2020** > Working with Synthesis Builder Inc. was a fantastic experience. Mauro offered helpful suggestions and shared samples of work he'd completed in other homes. He was open to our unique needs and helped stay within a specific budget. Mauro ensured good communication between workers so that our project was completed in a timely fashion. We love our new kitchen and bathrooms! I'd recommend Synthesis Builder Inc. to family and friends! **★★★★★ — HU-323373449, April 2020** > Great communication, follow up, fair pricing and easy to work with. Quality work with Mauro and his team! We enjoy working with them and have so several times. We recommend! **★★★★★ — Rocky Point Tile, Nov. 2019** > Mauro and Synthesis Builder Inc are a great company to work with! He is responsive, professional, and well organised. We worked with Mauro on coordinating tile choices for a renovation project in Surrey during October/November 2019. I've seen the work his team does. They keep a tidy job site and do professional work. We'd highly recommend them for your upcoming projects. **★★★★★ — HU-991875948, Oct. 2019** > We have been working with Synthesis for the last two years. As a known sub trade in Vancouver we highly recommend Synthesis to anyone who is looking to work with professionals that do quality work well beyond industry standards. > > Arthur Kavanagh > Kato Electrical Inc. ## Selected projects - [Modern Kitchen Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-kitchen-design-pj-vj~5896060) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 8 - [Complete Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/complete-home-renovation-pj-vj~5896061) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 7 - [Modern Bathroom Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-bathroom-renovation-pj-vj~5896068) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 4 - [Modern Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~5896058) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 5 - [Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~5896065) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 5 - [Heritage Restoration West 12th Ave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heritage-restoration-west-12th-ave-pj-vj~5853538) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 13 - [Restore Human Clinic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/restore-human-clinic-pj-vj~5853519) - Location: West Vancouver, BC - Photos: 7 - [Custom home exterior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-exterior-pj-vj~6005687) - Location: West Vancouver, BC - Photos: 2 - [Myodetox Clinic Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/myodetox-clinic-renovation-pj-vj~5896164) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 9 - [University Canada West Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/university-canada-west-remodel-pj-vj~5900881) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 2 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/synthesis-builder-inc-pfvwus-pf~347562709) ## Ideabooks - [contractors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/127508233/list/contractors) — 4 ideas - [69a](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/127271150/list/69a) — 17 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/webuser-364187924) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
