Our expertise

Chapter has been founded by Chartered Surveyors, Ryan Barnhill and Sam Miller. Chapter is a socially responsible developer focussed on creating sustainable places where people and communities thrive.
At Chapter, we aim to create a lasting social, economic and environmental impact with each individual project. We believe that buildings, towns and cities must create a lasting positive impact on people and planet, whilst also meeting the needs of the communities, partners and stakeholders we work with.
Our in-house team has the capability and determination to drive any project from inception to completion. We also have a well-established team of external experts, who bring their specialisms to each project and assist in the successful delivery of our development pipeline.
