Tennis court construction is a highly technical civil engineering discipline. Choosing the correct contractor may in fact determine the overall success of the project.

Nine key factors in choosing the right company:

The contractor should have extensive experience in constructing the type of court you want and in the area you want.

The contractor should be aware of planning law relating to the construction of tennis courts and subsequent lighting.

The contractor should hold all insurances to protect the client. If you are not sure ask your contractors to show evidence of the same.

The contractor should provide sufficient guarantees for all work and products.

Ask your contractor to explain who backs the guarantee and what will be done in the event of a claim being necessary.

What projects has the contractor constructed in the past?
Be certain that the contractor you choose is fully responsible for the entire project.

Remember if the contractor suggests you handle any section or pay a sub contractor directly, then responsibility for the courts integrity may finish with you.

Make sure you talk to a previous client – and play on a court built by the contractor you are considering.
