Bid only on fields inside your region

Field builders travel, but not everywhere. Set the region you bid; a facility outside it is told so, with no price, and you still receive its details.

Worked example

A grass football field in the instant athletic field quote tool

A new sand-based grass football field with its first line layout. Drag the facility size and the build scales; the layout is one flat charge.

Building an 80,000 sq ft sand-based natural grass football field, with the first line layout.

80,000 sq ft
  • Natural grass, sand base (80,000 sq ft) 80,000 sq ft × $4.50 $360,000.00
  • Initial line layout 1 × $550.00 $550.00
Total $360,550.00

With the price range on, the customer sees $306,450 to $432,700 instead.

$4.50 a square foot sits inside the natural grass row of the price table, and the total inside its football-field figure. Show a range for work this size.

FAQ

Questions athletic field companies ask

A field builder's guide puts natural grass fields at $2 to $7 a square foot and synthetic at $7.50 to $9.50, or $138,000 to $484,000 for a natural grass football field (price table).

Yes. The range option suits construction: set how far below and above the figure it runs, and your own record keeps the exact total.

Offer a renovation option at its own rate beside new builds. Directors choose renovation or new build, then trace the existing field.

Publishing it costs nothing, and no plan charges for the requests either. Written quotes and jobs for the build are on the paid plans.

Turf systems on their own are on the synthetic sports turf page, and recurring care on the sports field maintenance page.

Directors trace the footprint over a satellite photo of the site, and the price is based on that traced shape.

Get started
