In 2001 NCI coined the phrase “Performance-Based Contracting™. Performance-Based Contracting™ is NCI's unique approach that originated with delivering measured performance in HVAC systems to consumers. This term was later expanded to further describe how contractors manage their businesses through accountability and measurable results. Performance-Based Contracting™ is as much about changing a company’s culture as it is proving that you did what you said you were going to do.
