Plan private or municipal tennis court construction in British Columbia around your players and the site.
WCSI welcomes new construction and existing-court enquiries from private homeowners and municipalities in British Columbia. If your main concern is faded colour or worn markings, begin with a surface review before assuming you need a new court.
For a new build, describe the land available, the approach to the property and the intended level of use. Include any drawings and known drainage or ground information. For an existing court, explain what has changed: playing areas wearing through, lines becoming difficult to see, recurring cracks or water remaining after rain. Previous repair records can help frame the next investigation.
Keep these two scopes separate when asking for prices. An existing court may need preparation, repairs, coating and lines; a new court also needs a defined construction scope below the finish. Neither route can be selected from colour alone. The court resurfacing guide explains the questions to ask when comparing repair, recoat, cushioning and reconstruction. When only the surface needs work, you can get a resurfacing quote directly.

Show the whole court area, including fencing, gates, paths, neighbouring uses and equipment positions. A sketch of the playing rectangle is a starting point, but the planning drawing also needs space for movement, maintenance and entry. Note slopes, trees, retaining features and any services whose location is known. Identify gaps in the information rather than guessing what is underground.
A homeowner may be fitting tennis into a wider landscape plan. A municipality may be planning several courts with shared access and phased closures. In both cases, settle the layout and responsibilities before treating a surface colour or equipment package as the complete design. Use the construction scope guide to organise groundwork, base preparation, drainage, fencing and lighting questions.
Conceptual build-up. Actual layers depend on the selected system.
Start with how you want to use and maintain the court. Ask for the proposed acrylic or cushioned system by its current product name, with preparation and care requirements included. Review the full build-up and compatibility with the base. A sample colour is useful for appearance; it does not settle the suitability of the system beneath it.
If you are also considering modular sport tiles, ask for a tennis-specific suitability review covering play, the supporting base, drainage and ongoing care. Do not assume that a modular option and an acrylic coating are interchangeable. Keep any performance comparison tied to the selected manufacturer's documented system rather than a general promise about comfort, speed or injury prevention.
List posts, sleeves, nets and other equipment to be retained, replaced or moved. Include the existing fence and gates even if no change is currently planned. Ask who checks the interfaces between equipment foundations, the court base and the surface work. If you are considering lighting, the proposal should show who is responsible for its design, electrical work and approvals.
For public facilities, record the decision maker, procurement stage, access requirements and preferred closure period. A comparable proposal should show inclusions, exclusions and items awaiting further investigation. Request current pricing against that scope rather than comparing a surface-only figure with a complete build. Scheduling, return to play and any warranty terms need project-specific written confirmation.
Start with the existing condition and coating history. A review is needed to define suitable preparation and repairs; a new finish should not be used to conceal unresolved base or drainage concerns. Include line changes in the same enquiry so they can be assessed together.
No. Explain the intended use, location and what you want to change. You can compare suitable systems as the scope develops. Photos and drawings help the discussion, but you can begin with a short description if those records are not available.
Look for a tennis project with a similar starting condition and clearly identified work. Before, preparation and finished photographs help explain more than a finished colour alone. In the project library, compare the actual location, surface and WCSI scope rather than assuming a photograph proves a complete build.
British Columbia is WCSI's primary market. See the BC planning page for location information. For Alberta or Saskatchewan, describe the requested service so availability and logistics can be confirmed. If you are comparing a different racquet facility, review padel court planning as a separate scope.
