Performance Point

What Performance Point does

Performance Point is a privately held North Carolina-based building inspection and energy compliance services contractor serving the U.S. residential new construction market. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Harrisburg, NC, the company operates as Performance Point, LLC and delivers three integrated service lines: Quality Inspections (Fit and Finish, Mechanical, Framing, Drain Cam, Specialty, and Safety), Energy Ratings and Code Compliance Testing (Duct and Blower Door testing, Energy Star, HERS, NGBS ICC 700, Indoor airPLUS, and 45L tax credit support), and HVAC Design Services (Manual J/D/S calculations and 3D duct design). The Quality Dashboard is the company's proprietary technology layer, providing real-time tracking and aggregated reporting across approximately 170 inspection data points for builders, and the 3D Duct Design service is positioned as a faster, more cost-effective alternative to traditional walk-through and prototype HVAC design for single family construction. A Drain Cam offering uses a lighted waterproof camera on rigid push cable with distance counters and sonde location to pinpoint sewer line issues with minimal excavation.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-field-sales-driven, targeting single family home builders, multifamily developers, and HVAC contractors through direct consultation, quote requests, and scheduled calls. Services are delivered on-site by Performance Point employees, primarily across Southeast U.S. markets including North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and Georgia, with a multifamily group extending nationally with emphasis on the North and Southeast. The company supports builders in capturing utility incentives and federal tax credits through partnerships with Duke HERO, Duke ACE, TVA, Dominion Energy, Energy Star, RESNET, and NGBS ICC 700. Named customers include D.R. Horton alongside individual builder testimonials, and the company markets itself on quantifiable outcomes such as lowest recorded average NHO items (4.12) and high zero-item NHO rates (>20%).

Performance Point generates revenue through per-inspection and project-based fees for professional services including inspections, energy testing and certification, HVAC design, and ancillary air sealing and sales training. Pricing is quote-based rather than published-tier, billing is pay-as-you-go against project scope, and no subscription, SaaS, or platform licensing revenue model is in evidence. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds in the source data; ownership structure beyond founder/private ownership is not detailed. Headcount is reported in the 51-100 range and the company maintains an active careers page, signaling ongoing hiring intent.
