The contractor has also developed the clubhouse with lounge, café, gymnasium, meeting room and changing facilities.

The complex was built with a steel frame, timber cladding and completed with a high-specification finish.

Built to be as environmentally friendly as possible, the clubhouse roof is equipped with thermal panels to provide hot water for the whole facility, while photo voltaic panels generate electricity.

Water harvesting tanks were also installed to collect rainwater for flushing the toilets

Steven Gunn, project manager at McL&H, said: "We worked very closely with Chandos Tennis Club and the local authority to bring them along with us on the journey of the build, ensuring they were involved at every step to deliver what they expected."
