I think if physical work completion can be measured reliably then as per % comletion method revenue can be recognised % wise, i.e., 25% in ur case. accordingly tax audit is applicable. Land cost has to be recognised(calculate land cost of area utilised for construction instead of % of work completed) as well to calculate cost.
