As per my opinion you are not reuired to get the accounts audited. Please refer to the Para 31.4 of CBDT Circular No. 684 dated 10.06.1994, which makes it clear with a practicle example of 44AB.

31.4 The  assessees who file the return, estimating income at 8 per cent of gross receipts, or a higher income, will neither be required to maintain books of account under the provisions of section 44AA, nor required to get accounts audited under the provisions of section 44AB, in respect of their income from the business of civil construction. However, even such an  assessee has to comply with the requirements of both sections 44AA and 44AB in respect of his businesses which are not covered by this scheme. For instance, a person may have gross receipts of Rs. 30 lakhs from civil construction business and of Rs. 25 lakhs from trading in scrap and Rs. 10 lakhs from garment manufacture. Although his total gross receipts are Rs. 65 lakhs, he will not be required to have his accounts audited, since his gross receipts after excluding those from the business of civil construction are still less than Rs. 40 lakhs, the limit provided in section 44AB
