    Prima face' they may seem correct but without some narritave and indication of debits and credits to the journal entry who can say. Wouldn't construction expenses be first debited to the construction in progress account and then the project cost be transferred to cost of sales whilst contact revenue be transferred to sales (billings)?

    As to account classification some are assets, liabilities, revenue items, no doubt your text book will help
