I need a clubhouse for my club on a tight budget. What are my options?
A modular solution can be sized with a tailored mix of P300, P400, P500, P600 and P700 units, then fitted around the intended use. The online designer shows the final calculated total for the exact configuration before a formal quotation.
Clubs almost always fund in stages: a grant, a fundraiser, a sponsor. The risk with a traditional build is committing to the whole scheme before the whole budget exists. Modules let you build what you can afford now and join the rest on later.
Your options compared
Phased modular clubhouse
Start with the essential modules and join more alongside as funding allows.
- A formal itemised quotation that suits grant applications
- Something usable from phase one
- Later modules join the existing building rather than replacing it
- Each phase needs a delivery and lift
- The base should be laid for the final footprint up front
Second-hand cabins
Buying used portable units.
- Lowest up-front cost
- Insulation and condition are usually poor
- Running costs and repairs quickly erode the saving
- Rarely presents well for sponsors and hire income
Traditional build
A permanent masonry clubhouse.
- Permanent, fully bespoke
- Needs the full budget confirmed before starting
- Long programme with volunteer coordination
Lay the base for the whole clubhouse once, then buy modules as the money arrives. It keeps every phase cheap to install and avoids paying twice for groundworks.
What each size gives you
Mix P300, P400, P500, P600 and P700 units around the space needed; the designer calculates the final total for the exact result.
| Modules | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| 2 modules | Changing space and WCs — a workable phase one |
| 4 modules | Changing, WCs and a social room with a tea point |
| 6 modules | Two changing rooms, officials' room, WCs, kitchen and bar area |
How to get it moving
- Agree the final footprint and lay the base for all of it
- Decide which phase the club needs first
- Design it in the builder and use the quote in your grant application
- Confirm drainage and water for the changing and WC modules
- Book the first delivery around the season

- •Final connection to mains power, water and drainage by your own contractor
- •Planning permission or building control fees where these apply
