Construction costs vary significantly depending on whether you build an indoor or outdoor facility. Indoor halls in Netherlands run considerably higher — structural build, ventilation, and lighting drive the cost. Outdoor courts are cheaper to construct but limit your operating season and revenue potential. The number of courts is the single biggest lever on total investment: each additional court lowers the per-court cost, but increases your total capital at risk.
