The R&D Tax Credit in the Real Estate Development Industry

Date and Time: There are no webinars running at this time

R&D Tax Credits: 80% of eligible companies do not claim them! Every year, companies waste thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars due to simple misunderstandings about the Research and Development (R&D) tax credit. Amended claims can go back three years and in most cases generate significant refunds for past R&D activities.

Small businesses in the construction sector can benefit significantly from the R&D tax credit by claiming eligible activities such as the development of innovative construction techniques, the improvement of construction processes, or the creation of custom tools. These efforts often qualify as research and development, even if they occur on job sites. For startups, the R&D payroll tax offset is particularly valuable: it allows qualified companies to apply the credit against payroll taxes, helping to reduce labor costs and free up cash flow. This can be a vital source of funding for growth and continued innovation in a competitive market.

Construction Case Study

Freeman Home Builders, a custom home construction company, recognized in 2012 that inefficiencies in their building process stemmed from manual, resource-intensive, and poorly organized industry practices. This led Freeman to identify the need for comprehensive software capable of managing all business aspects, unlike existing technology on the market which focused solely on design. The hypothesis of their R&D project was that a management system could be designed and developed to integrate design functions, customer relationship management (CRM), and accounting software to handle all aspects of a construction project. To achieve this, Freeman outlined four key research and experimentation activities that aligned with the four-part test for R&D eligibility: designing and developing prototypes to achieve technical objectives, conducting trials and analyzing data to verify their hypothesis, performing background research to assess knowledge gaps and determine feasibility, and engaging in continuous analysis of customer feedback to improve prototype design. These activities, from initial literature reviews and consultations to iterative coding, testing, and continuous modifications, demonstrated Freeman’s systematic approach to the development of their new management software (FMS). To be “compliance ready” for potential audits, Freeman meticulously maintained various records, including error logs, technical design reviews, screenshots of software versions, email correspondence, progress reports, personnel timesheets, and source code documentation.
