At 31 March 2026, its contracted backlog was approximately CAD 5.4 billion and pending backlog approximately CAD 5.6 billion. The results attributed growth to ongoing operations and acquired businesses, while retaining a separate category for awarded work not yet contracted. These are company-wide financial measures for the reported quarter, not a newly commissioned asset or the value of one industrial project.",

          "Financial reporting can support an assessment of delivery scale, but it does not identify engineering responsibility by itself. Revenue recognition spans projects and maintenance activities at different stages. To compare contractors, relate the portfolio to the specific capabilities needed: design coordination, procurement management, trade execution or recurring plant services. The distinction between contracted and pending work also matters for scheduling resources. Neither category should be converted into a power-capacity or construction-completion claim."

        "paragraphs": [
          "For project comparisons, identify the owner, delivery model and contracted package before assigning responsibility for the complete asset. An award, negotiation, backlog figure or construction target describes a different stage from commissioning and sustained operation. Review the boundaries between civil work, equipment supply, electrical systems and controls, together with the acceptance documentation and the owner’s operating requirements. These engineering considerations are an interpretation of the delivery context, rather than additional project milestones announced by Bird."
