Questions to ask

What to confirm before you get in touch

Fit factor Why it matters Next action
Civil work Foundation, slab correction, grading, and drainage can sit outside a court supplier quote. Name who designs, prices, performs, and warrants the base.
Electrical and lighting Fixtures may be separate from trenching, controls, poles, foundations, and utility upgrades. Separate equipment supply from electrical installation and approval.
Permits and inspections Approvals can stall the project if no party owns documents or responses. Assign drawings, submissions, comments, inspections, and signoff.
Installation logistics Freight, unloading, staging, cranes, storage, and access restoration can be missed. Ask who handles each logistics step and what is excluded.
Handover and aftercare coverage Support after installation affects ownership cost. Clarify documents, maintenance guidance, spare parts, response path, and aftercare limits.

Compare the work they actually handle

  • A table with every scope area, responsible party, deliverable, exclusion, evidence needed, and open decision.
  • Separate rows for court system, foundation, drainage, lighting, electrical work, permits, freight, installation, cleanup, aftercare coverage, and maintenance handover.
  • A note showing whether each responsibility belongs to the project team, builder, manufacturer, installer, general contractor, engineer, electrician, landlord, or local authority.

Do not mistake a claim for proof

  • Any assumption that "turnkey" automatically means one party owns every civil, electrical, permit, and handover task.
  • Any responsibility assignment that replaces legal, engineering, zoning, licensing, or contract review by qualified local professionals.

Questions that deserve a clear answer

  • The project team signs a low quote that excludes slab, drainage, electrical, or permit work.
  • Two vendors appear to offer different prices but are actually pricing different responsibility splits.
  • A project delay appears after nobody owns inspection responses, access restoration, or handover documents.

Before you decide

Compare the same project, not just the final number.

Two prices are only comparable when they cover the same work. Check the site condition, court count, indoor or outdoor setting, lighting, cover, permits, access, responsibilities, and project type before choosing an option.

  1. Write down what is included, excluded, provisional, and handled by you.
  2. Ask for written answers to anything that could change the cost or timeline.
  3. Use those answers in the calculator or project brief before comparing builders.

Common questions

Answers to check before you commit.

What is a scope responsibility matrix?

It is a table that names who owns each workstream, what is included, what is excluded, what proof is needed, and which decisions remain open before contract review.

Should I ask for a responsibility matrix before a quote?

Yes for commercial or multi-party projects. A matrix helps vendors price the same scope and helps project teams see whether civil work, permits, lighting, and handover are included.

Does this replace a construction contract?

No. Use it to prepare better quote and contract questions, then confirm final responsibility in written agreements with qualified professionals.
