How much does it Cost to Build a Rugby Field?

The cost to build a rugby field near me can alter depending on a number of different factors. The biggest factor which affects the price is the area size. Having a full sized pitch installed will cost more than having a smaller facility constructed. We can alter our specifications to meet your needs; for example you may only have limited space or funds available which is why we can make a smaller version for you. The amount of preparation work will also cause the price to build a field to alter. If the area is already dug out or the MOT type 1 is already in place, the cost to prepare the surface will be cheaper, meaning the overall construction will be less costly. 

We try to keep our prices as low as possible, however we only use premium materials and we carry out our work to the highest possible standard; this means that we may not be the cheapest contractors out there, but we strive to be the best.
