The company is in the business of providing construction and maintenance services. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The company has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the goods and services before transferring them to the customer.

Construction services

Construction contracts are assessed to identify the performance obligations contained in the contract. The total transaction price is allocated to each individual performance obligation. Typically, the company’s construction contracts contain a single performance obligation.

Work is performed on assets that are controlled by the customer or on assets that have no alternative use to the company, with the company having right to payment for performance to date. As performance obligations are satisfied over time, revenue is recognised over time using an output method based on work certified to date.  Customers are typically invoiced on a monthly basis and invoices are paid on normal commercial terms.

Services contracts

Contracts for performance of maintenance activities cover servicing of assets and involve various activities. These activities tend to be substantially the same with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Where this is the case, which is the majority of the services contracts, these services are taken to be one performance obligation and the total transaction price is allocated to the performance obligation identified.

Performance obligations are fulfilled over time as the company largely enhances assets which the customer controls. Customers are typically invoiced monthly for an amount that is calculated on either a schedule of rates or a cost plus basis. For these contracts, the transaction price is determined as an estimate of this variable consideration.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.

Revenue is recorded on an accruals basis.
