Mark Crisp

Director/ Chartered Construction Manager

"I have worked in construction for over 30 years and I am passionate about building and renovating properties. My career began as an apprentice carpenter for a local builder and since then I have been a site foreman and a director of two large construction companies.

I founded Chapel Properties Woodbridge with my wife, Ruth in early 2014 and we make a successful and highly effective team. I can easily visualise the end result and have the ability to effectively manage the process to reach the client’s vision, keeping each client fully informed on the progress of the project and giving them peace of mind throughout the build process.

I am a full Member of the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB) and am a recognised Chartered Construction Manager (CCM)."

Ruth Crisp

Interior Designer

"I have always had a passion for designing which began as a child when I painted a cast iron fireplace in my bedroom. Since owning my own homes, I have relished the interior design process and love sourcing fabric, soft furnishings and decorative pieces to give all my interiors an individual stamp

I have been inspired by all the home interior trends over the years like stencilling, mosaics, co-ordinating woodwork with walls and now feature walls and the revival of wallpaper. Just like in the home, trends in garden design change and I am very interested in keeping up to date with all the latest influences to create gorgeous outside spaces that complement the home.

My taste is for contemporary living that is both functional and comfortable while giving the WOW factor to all my properties. I feel I have an eye for a few opulent, key pieces that give my designs that all important signature look. I take my design principles outside and provide gardens that are simple, contemporary and easy to maintain.

Mark and I work very well together and both share the same approach to creating our finished properties, where the wishes of the client are central in realising each project, ensuring that the quality is maintained throughout whatever the scale and scope of the build and budget."
