Tracking contractor growth by project square footage rather than contract value dollars. Account for market shifts and regional differences.

Problematic for other than new residential construction. Do you count site area? Out of contract building area for renovations?

Maybe the sum of in-contract building area and other areas prorated somehow.

Seems imminently gameable. See incentives#Perverse Incentive and estimating-culture#Incentives.
