What does a site welfare unit cost?
A site welfare unit's cost is driven by headcount, canteen and drying-room space, toilets and showers, and how often it is relocated between sites. Build it online to see the total.
Welfare is a compliance requirement, not a nice-to-have, and the constraint is usually the site's water and electrical capacity rather than the building. Size the facility to your peak headcount and tell us your available supply at design stage.
Typical configurations
Choose the mix of unit sizes and fit-out you need. The designer shows the final total for that exact configuration.
| Modules | What it realistically fits |
|---|---|
| 1 module | Canteen and WC for a small crew |
| 2 modules | Canteen, drying area and two WCs |
| 4 modules | Canteen, drying room, WCs and showers for roughly 25–30 operatives |
| 6 modules | Welfare for around 50 operatives: canteen, drying room, multiple WCs and showers |
