Construction accounting is a form of project accounting applied to construction projects. See also production accounting.

Construction accounting is a vitally necessary form of accounting, especially when multiple contracts come into play. The construction field uses many terms not used in other forms of accounting, such as draw and progress billing.

Construction accounting may also need to account for vehicles and equipment, which may or may not be owned by the company as a fixed asset.

Construction accounting requires invoicing and vendor payment, more or less as to the amount of business done.
