My view ,This is not Construction contract,it is real estate devolpers. Construction is only coming the Owner of the land and the contractor relationship.but your case the property title not transfer to the buyer untill the construction completed.so my opinion you need to recognise only WIP or please go through the Guidance note on Recognition of Revenue by Real estate devolpers issued by ICAI
