How and Guidelines for Making a Complete Futsal Field Budget Plan

Education

March 24, 2025

Building a futsal court is not just about installing artificial turf and goals. Careful budget planning is essential so that the project runs smoothly and does not experience cost overruns.

Many futsal court business owners fall into common mistakes such as inaccurate cost calculations or overlooking unexpected additional costs. Therefore, making a RAB (Cost Budget Plan) must be done carefully from the start.

Determining the Type of Futsal Field

The type of field chosen will greatly affect the cost of construction. Indoor futsal courts require a larger investment because they require a roof, special lighting, and good ventilation. Meanwhile, outdoor courts are more flexible in terms of cost but require an adequate drainage system to prevent flooding when it rains.
In terms of flooring, there are a few main options:

• Artificial turf: Provides comfort and a professional look, but requires regular maintenance.
• Multi-functional flooring: Provides easy access to a variety of sports.
• Vinyl: Used for indoor futsal courts with better ball bounce.

The structure of the building is also a consideration. Is it a more economical lightweight steel frame or a more sturdy but expensive permanent concrete construction? All these factors should be included in the RAB.

Sketching and Preliminary Planning

Before calculating the budget, it is important to have a visual picture of the field to be built. Sketches and blueprints are helpful in determining the land area, standard field size, and additional facilities such as spectator stands, changing rooms, or parking areas. If possible, consult an architect or contractor with experience in similar projects.

Estimated Construction Costs and Materials

The construction of a futsal court requires several main stages:

• Foundation and land leveling: This cost varies depending on the condition of the land.
• Flooring and main construction materials: You can contact Datra to find out the price and requirements for artificial turf for the futsal court.
• Fence and roof: For indoor courts, a lightweight steel roof can cost a significant amount of money.

Lighting and Electrical Budget

One of the important components in an indoor futsal court is the lighting. LED lights are more energy-efficient than halogen, although the initial investment is higher. Also take into account the electrical power required and the cost of installing cables and electrical panels.

Facility Equipment Cost Estimation

Apart from the main court, there are many elements that need to be taken into account:

• Standard quality wickets and nets
• Drainage system for outdoor courts
• Ventilation or air conditioning for indoor

The cost of these facilities can range from IDR 10 million to IDR 50 million depending on the quality and quantity.

Licenses and Administrative Costs

Building a futsal court requires various permits such as IMB (Building Construction Permit) and sports business license. In addition, there are local taxes as well as retribution fees that must be paid. Don't forget building insurance to protect your investment in the long run.

Labor Budget and Contractor Services

Choosing between daily labor and piecework will affect the total budget. If you want to finish faster, using a contractor may be more efficient despite the higher cost.

Extra Costs and Unexpected Surprises

Always set aside an emergency budget of around 10-20% of the total cost to anticipate design changes, material price increases, or weather factors that slow down the work. Don't forget to calculate long-term maintenance costs once the site is operational.

Conclusion

Making an accurate RAB is the key to successful futsal field construction. By understanding the type of field, materials used, labor costs, and licensing aspects, the project can run more smoothly and avoid budget overruns. Research the latest prices, consult with professionals, and always prepare an emergency budget to ensure this investment is profitable in the long run.
