Zakat on Apartments and Houses Built by Contractors

Question
Should contractors in construction calculate the value of the apartments and houses built that have not yet been sold from the nisab?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The value of apartments and houses built by contractors is counted even if they have not yet been sold from the threshold; because they are considered part of trade goods, so they are calculated and zakat is paid on them along with their other funds, and God knows best.
