A Comprehensive Source Advisors Case Study

R&D Tax Credits for Construction and MEP

In the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector, R&D tax credits aren’t just for traditional engineering and design activities. Construction and MEP firms can also claim these benefits for a variety of innovative endeavors, from custom system design to novel construction methods. This Source Advisors case study explores how one construction firm leveraged these opportunities to achieve significant tax savings and fuel ongoing innovation.

What Qualified as R&D?

Activities qualifying for R&D tax credits were numerous and involved the conceptual design phase, including energy and utility system assessments, architectural schematic reviews, and alternative MEP system discussions. Special focus was on electrical distribution systems, plumbing system design, and HVAC technologies. The company utilized advanced software like BIM and AutoCAD for detailed analyses, and often had to adapt their designs due to public access and safety concerns.
