How these court cost numbers are built

The rates, the sizes, and the math, published so any figure on this site can be checked.

Every number on this site comes from one source: the live pricing engine a licensed court builder uses to quote real jobs. We publish the rates, the court sizes, and the math, so you can check any figure yourself.

The math

New build subtotal = (sq ft x pad rate) + (sq ft x surfacing rate). Resurface subtotal = (sq ft x resurface rate) + (estimated crack linear feet x crack rate). Add-ons are added per square foot or as flat fees. The quoted range runs from the subtotal to the subtotal plus 20 percent, which is the spread the builder sees between an easy site and a hard one. A remote-site travel fee of 15 percent applies outside the builder's core service area.

What these numbers are not

They are a national baseline. Concrete pricing, labor rates, permit fees, and site conditions change the final quote. State pages note which of those tend to push a project up or down. Nothing here is a bid; a builder confirms the figure on site.
