Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contracts with customers usually stipulate the timing of payment, which is defined by the terms found within the various contracts under which work was performed during the period. Therefore, contract assets and liabilities are created when the timing of costs incurred on work performed does not coincide with the billing terms. These contracts frequently include retention provisions contained in each contract.
The Company’s consolidated balance sheets present contract assets, which contain unbilled revenue and contract retainages associated with contract work that has been completed and billed but not paid by customers, pursuant to retainage provisions, that are generally due once the job is completed and approved. The allowance for doubtful accounts associated with contract assets was $0.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and $0.4 million as of December 31, 2024.
Contract assets consisted of the following:

The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities primarily results from the timing of the Company’s billings in relation to its performance of work. The amounts of revenue recognized in the period that were included in the opening contract liability balances was $58.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The amounts of revenue recognized in the period that were included in the opening contract liability balances was $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This revenue consists primarily of work performed on previous billings to customers.
