Is your architecture or construction business claiming fully for its innovation?
Whenever anyone talks about research and development (R&D), the usual industries spring to mind including pharmaceuticals, software and engineering. It may come as a surprise to learn that companies involved in architecture, construction and property also have the potential to claim.

What qualifies as R&D in the architecture and construction sectors?
The R&D tax credits scheme rewards any company that undertakes work to resolve a ‘scientific or technological uncertainty’ and in doing so increases the overall knowledge or capability in that field. Qualifying activities may include:
- Developing a new construction method or material.
- Solving a complex architectural challenge using innovative technology.
- Developing designs for unique or challenging environments.
- Developing advanced software applications for use in the sector.
