R&D Tax Credits for Construction Businesses

Many construction companies qualify for thousands in R&D Tax Relief. Build smarter for your future.

The UK Construction sector is a major driver of economic growth and innovation, with companies continually adopting new technologies, materials, and methods.

While businesses face challenges such as complex projects and subcontracting costs, opportunities exist to develop safer, more efficient, and sustainable solutions.

R&D Tax Credits can provide valuable funding

By reducing tax bills or delivering cash injections. Construction R&D often focuses on innovative building materials, improved methods, automation, and digital tools.

Successfully claiming relief can boost capital for reinvestment, accelerate projects, and enhance productivity and long-term growth.

Developing new or improved building materials

Designing innovative structural or modular systems

Testing energy-efficient or sustainable construction methods

Creating automation or digital tools for construction processes

Improving safety systems and compliance procedures

Developing new techniques for project planning or site management

Conducting prototyping or pilot projects for complex builds

Researching materials or methods to meet regulatory or environmental standards

Various qualifying costs and expenses

The reasons why the innovation is being attempted do not have to be technical in nature, but if the solution being sought involves technical or scientific challenges, then the expenditure incurred may qualify for R&D tax credits. Find out who can claim R&D tax relief here.

An accurate R&D tax credit calculator can help quantify these activities.

Did you know? Under HMRC rules, your business does not need to succeed to qualify. If you have attempted to overcome technical uncertainty by developing new software systems, digital tools, or IT innovations, you could be eligible for R&D Tax Credits.
