07 February 2008 Dear Sir,
Our Institute is going to construct new building for starting a college. Amounts spent for this construction work will go under which heads in accounts. Should we maintain a separate account for this. Expenditure will be on geological survey and soil testing, architects fees, building materials, contractors charges, etc.
Thanks
