What to check first
- Run the cost calculator first if the build cost is still a guess.
- Replace default rates with local competitor pricing and your target membership offer.
- Check break-even utilization before signing a lease, loan, or construction contract.
- Prepare a quote brief only after the business case and project scope point in the same direction.
- Replace default court rates with nearby club, hospitality, municipal, or private-facility evidence.
- Check seasonality, opening costs, local taxes, staffing, rent, utilities, maintenance, and software before asking builders for prices.
