Good day everyone.

I'm thinking of starting a badminton court business with 14 to 18 courts. Anyone here have experience on the cost of opening a badminton court. My target area will be serdang or puchong.

Thanks a lot.

Make sure you can get a good location first with ample car parking space else nobody will go there

yah... i plan that too.. thanks

Open futsal court got better profit.

I have plan to become badminton academic soon. which i can earn from training and also renting court.
Futsal only rent court.

no idea on the finances, but if u open those court with the green rubber mat flooring then should be high demand.

yeap.. rubber court are more demanding. hmm.. really dunno on the cost...

location leh ?
difference place requires differencet quote

i plan to have one either serdang or puchong.

Hi, may i know are you looking for partners cause i m very interested in it as well =)

eds2303,

I am currently constructing a building for a client which consists of 16 badminton courts and 6 futsal courts. The cost of this building including complete infrastructure costs RM3.6 million. Depending on your requirements, the cost of your building could be between RM800k - RM1.8 million.

Futsal also can give training. Especially to those school children. I see most of futsal center they held event like family gathering or company team building.

serdang especially equine park area should be OK.

whereas Puchong already have MBA, Flexzone, Rakan Muda Court, and LCW Arena.

Wow.. really thanks for your advice. does this include the rubber flooring?

Added on August 16, 2011, 11:52 pmI'm not so experience in futsal. I played badminton more in those indoor court. That's y i know what i can do, when is mostly the peak hour and roughly i can calculate my revenue. but i really don't know about futsal but i will try to venture it. I'm new in business...

Added on August 16, 2011, 11:56 pmYeap, equine park should be quite a good area too. will find a good place. but puchong is big. there are areas like kinrara which i can attract customers from kinrara, bukit jalil as well as serdang. equine park i might only able to attract customers in that area or maybe those that stays in cyberjaya. I will need to find out which area i can get more regular customers...
but the main thing i need to know is the rubber flooring cost, the build up cost and how many area i need for it. thanks for your help and support...

I have a friend Jimmy who at first rents a piece of land and build the badminton courts in 11th mile Cheras. It is almost 10 years now and the contract is almost ending and he has already bought a piece of land in Bandar Mahkota Cheras and construction has already started on his new ventures also badminton courts. The new one is bigger and has more courts and he also allocated a space for either a 'mamak' outlet or a mini foodcourt to be rented out. His old premises also has an eatery by the side where he rents out. He also has a pro shop inside selling sports equipmetnts. There are also table tennis tables to rent also.

I gather sports is a viable business in KL/PJ.

Yeap, that is what i wanted to do. but i will only start with badminton court only. if everything looks good, i'll start other sports too.

Jordy,

RM800K - RM1.8Mil was just the cost of construction ? I mean without calculate the price of buying the land.

Just curious, why it was so expensive ? How is the cost allocated ?

Challenger @Taman Cuepacs?

eds2303,

That is not including the rubber mat flooring.

YuNGSeNG,

Take an average of 16 courts, you will need a NFA of about 25,000 sqft (this will change depending on the amenities you require). The floor will have to be superflat finished with a tolerance of 5mm +- for span of 3m (which costs quite a sum). The bulk of the money comes from the infrastructure (roads, parkings, water piping, cabling, drainage and fencing). The cheaper price range will get you a reinforced concrete building block, while at the other end of the range will get you a steel structure building.

Thanks a lot for ur reply... Learn some good things from u... Thanks a lot..

Noted, actually opening a badminton court is one of my dream as well. However, after knowing the estimate cost, it is too far for me to reach :-)

Cannot find a warehouse and install the flooring and draw some line, put some sportlight, fan, then rent to people to play?

Easier and costing wise is cheaper.

YuNGSeNG,

You can actually find a land owner, propose for him to build it and you sign a lease with him for maybe 10 years. Then you can rent it cheaply.

edyek,

If you rent or buy a warehouse, it would not be feasible because the cost is way more expensive (about 30% more) because of the additional substructure requirements of warehouses. The other problem you will face is the lack of toilets/bathrooms and parking spaces.

if choosing parkir surface court, does the construction cost higher?

It is. To top up, govt has allowed RM300 for tax deduction for sports equipment. Further boost to it!

Yes, was thinking that too.

I mean for a medium warehouse at least it can hold 2~4 court badminton court, we just construct a cement slab (if there is existing, then no need to construct) and install flooring. Toilet doesn't cost much too. Parking space only need to park 8~16 cars enough?(most of the warehouse can park at least 5~10 cars right?) Road side also can (got complain from later stage ).

But of course constructing a new building is much more better than renovating existing warehouse. Fits all the requirement.

mucklampir,

What is parkir? Sorry, I have never heard of that.

edyek,

A warehouse which can hold 4 courts will cost you about RM10,000 per month in rental. That is a whopping RM120,000 per annum or RM600,000 for 5 years. After that the building is still not yours. If you just construct a building from scratch, you will have the building to yourself at that price.

hi jordy,

parkir is a wooden surface. I prefer them than rubber mat.

Right. If we compare the ending, of course constructing a new building is the best way to go.

Does badminton court earn as much as futsal court?

Hmm..badminton court and futsal are both popular sports. Perhaps then the variable is which charges are higher, and turnover time. Eg: badminton, usual booking is 2 hrs. Futsal...am not sure...not a futsal player here. Lol. Would be interesting to see some replies on this.

mucklampir,

Do you mean parquet flooring?

edyek,

Badminton courts can earn more than futsal court because you can build almost 3 badminton courts with the size of a futsal court. Furthermore, you will have regulars if you rent out monthly. Sad to say, futsal players come and go and you won't know when they'll come back after their last visit.

Oh yea, right. Most badminton court are rented out monthly. Either you come or not, the management has received your money. While futsal, they only pay as they play. Didn't know that a futsal court can accommodate 3 badminton court. Not bad.

hello! were you able to open a badminton court successfully?

i'm also wondering how much is the construction cost for 4 badminton court building??
which one is cheaper? concrete / steel structure?

how about archery court? nowadays theres too many badminton court at klang valley area

was thinking about this crazy idea of having laser tag ground in harbour place klang like playing counter-strike live. some of its floor is quite run down n nobody is renting

how much is badminton court charging per hour in kl?

same goes to me
the idea is almost similar to paintball and need to create the "realistic" environment
but because of the game charge is too expensive, there is not much regular player interested in this type of game

paint ball is abit dirty. probably owner wont agree with paint ball, but laser tag is "clean". lol

probably can take some risk.. have a lower margin but go for volume. always go for corporate target, like those company doin some annual activity.

me got different point of view
i prefer go to college and university and "seduce" club members like sport club or outdoor club for their annual event
they are more easier to deal with

tried the laser tagging you mentioned once before....

it was chaos... you didnt know if your shot was successful, or were you shot? maybe the electronics the one i was at sucked but its a consideration if the playability isnt there.. good concept though..


anyways, all the time we had guys holding on to other peoples back and shooting the laser gun,, chaos...


anyone from JB? wall climbing is getting quite popular but not a single location in town yet. an opportunity?

endau02,

Laser tag requires a heck lots of capital to start weh. The internal decos and high-tech equipments (baju, laser gun, night vision camera, lighting, etc). Do you have that?

If by any chance you have that money and want to make it a reality, I might be able to jump in the bandwagon with you if you don't mind having me tagging along. I can see success if that can really be done. Harbour Place really needs some entertainment. People there are willing to spend.

aiyo, ayam poorfag.

if im not mistaken, now got archery... still thinking on cheaper way to startup a tiny business there

Indoor basketball? Want to try it out with me?

tried out the baseball cages in seoul once....

fun cheap and addictive, worked out a sweat too... that might not be too expensive to start off im guessing.

ossd,

Not sure how much the pitching machine would cost. But I still prefer basketball court as it's a more popular sports among Malaysian Chinese.

yeah i know basketball is more popular but basketball when i was young.. we just played in schools or any neighbourhood tamans...

now once in a while we go either to the chinese association hall, majilis courts and sometimes even in this church. ( they quite cool about us playing as long as we pick up our rubbish after us)

baseball is quite foreign i know but theres that novelty factor... dont ask me why but its quite shiok trying to hit a ball speeding 80km/hr at your face. lol

and the space i went to had 2 floors.. had 6 cages in total... about 10' wide x maybe 40' long each with different ball speeds, had a small booth that sells drinks and ciggies and stuff, and a punching station and a small arcade... had lots of school kids there, guys were goofing around and showing off and girls were giggling.... but it was near a shopping mall and train station. total land size maybe 2 of our regular 20x70 shophouses maybe?

but its just something i picked up from travelling... might work might not work who knows...

i remembered seeing the sticker machines in 1999 in tokyo... and kids were crazy over them too and thinking to myself wouldnt it be nice if we had some of those machines in malaysia back then..

cheers!

just googled.... baseball pitching machines.... around usd350 for a pretty decent one.. not that expensive.. hhmmm..

sifus.. any thought?

Hi Jordy,

I also planning to open a rubber mat badminton court on a small town at Sabah. Will the budget same as what you mentioned?

Thanks

do u have some famous badminton star open with u? if yes den more secure

The thread seems to be died for some times. After reading the whole post, I don't get whether is it profitable to start a badminton court business.

Checklist of important criteria for a successful badminton court:-
1. Plenty of parking space (whether legal or illegal )
2. Demand around the area (of coz!)
3. Snacks/Beverage Kiosk
4. Bright environment
5. Rubber court

Anything else??

u see people still doing it after few years, sure profitable ma.. depends the demand, and your expenses.. do inside factory? or build everything from scratch on a piece of land?

my area 1 hour RM20+, 1 day they do 6 hours business also got RM140 per court. the snacks and drinks + shuttles/racquets/grip/string also earn some side income.

lol, anyone here who knows how to do badminton racket stringing ?

i think this is one of the criteria to open a badminton court...

I'm opening badminton courts in Rawang soon.
hopefully it will be a success. its only 8 courts.
it'll be squeezing if i put 9 courts.

wow!! cool!

good luck..

so how much it cost to startup this business?
