AS7 - Accounting for Construction Contracts
This query is : Resolved
03 February 2009
I recently read somewhere that AS7 (% completion method) is not mandatorily applicable to construction companies who develop housing/commercial on its own account and then sell to public. In other words these construction companies are not bound to compulsorily follow % completion method. Is it true?
Is AS7 applicable only to contractors who undertake construction contract for their clients.

AS 7 is not applicable to developers. The reason being that AS 7 defines construcion contract as a contract which is specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset.
The developers do not enter into a construction contract with their buyers. They undertake construction on their own account and later sell the property to the buyers.
They, therefore enter into an agreement for sale.
Therefore, AS 7 is not applicable.
