Ask for the arrangement in writing and disclose compensation when required.

Dink Pro Courts Guide

Choose the right commercial model

A referral model sends the client to the court builder for a direct contract. A subcontract model keeps the court within the prime contractor's agreement. Trade pricing supplies a net price that the prime may mark up under its contract. Each model changes communication, payment and warranty responsibility.

Decide who owns the lead, contract, design decisions, collections, schedule and post-completion service before discussing the amount of compensation.

Make compensation transparent

Referral or commission arrangements should comply with applicable licensing, disclosure, tax and contract requirements. Obtain professional advice where needed and never describe a payment as a discount to the client unless that is accurate.

Written terms should cover when a lead qualifies, when payment is earned, cancellation, duplicate leads, non-payment, refunds and whether compensation applies to change orders.

Evaluate value beyond price

A useful partner gives timely budget guidance, clear scopes, constructability input and reliable scheduling. Those services can reduce estimating effort and protect the prime contractor's client experience.

Ask whether the court builder supports plan review, client presentations, finish selection, site meetings, co-branded materials and progress updates.

Follow applicable law, licensing rules and contract requirements. Transparent documentation reduces misunderstandings.

Not on the public pages reviewed. Ask the company directly before representing that a program exists.
