Construction Developer Fee Revenue and Expenses
We just recently became the developer of a construction project. We do not own the land. We will not be building it ourselves. We are purely the developer and will receive a developer fee once the project has completed. My question is - when do I recognize the revenue and when do I recognize the expenses associated with this project? I know there are new revenue recognition rules out there but the applicability is murky. I believe that we should be expenses all expenses incurred related to this project as period costs (as opposed to capitalizing). However, should I be recognizing income at the same time even if the project is not complete? What method do I use? Am I expensing the expenses in the right period? Any help is greatly appreciate.
expensing*** it changed my question.
Are you sure that the fee is paid only at 100% completion? A lot of the time it is paid out in installments throughout the project.
Are you talking GAAP revenue recognition or recognition for purposes of a CF? For GAAP, the new revenue recognition rules shouldn't affect this too much as it falls under the reporting requirements for long-term contracts, so you would be reporting revenue under the percentage completion method.
