The R&D Tax Credit in the Building and Construction Industry

Date & Time: Friday, December 12, 2025 at 1:00pm CT | Duration: 60 Minutes

R&D Tax Credits: 80% of companies that qualify don’t claim! Every year, companies throw away thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars because of simple misunderstandings surrounding the research and development (R&D) tax credit. Amendment claims can go back three years and in most situations produce sizable refunds for past R&D activities.

Small businesses in the construction industry can benefit significantly from the Research and Development tax credit by claiming eligible activities such as developing innovative building techniques, improving construction processes, or creating custom tools. These efforts often qualify as research and development, even if they occur on job sites. For startups, the Research and Development payroll tax offset is especially valuable—it allows qualified businesses 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 a need for comprehensive software capable of managing all business aspects, unlike existing market technology that focused solely on design. Their R&D project’s hypothesis was that a management system could be designed and developed to integrate design, customer relationship management (CRM), and accounting software functions to manage all aspects of a building 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 test their hypothesis, performing background research to evaluate knowledge gaps and determine feasibility, and engaging in ongoing 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 developing their new management software (FMS). To be “compliance ready” for potential IRS audits, Freeman meticulously maintained various records, including error logs, technical drawing revisions, screenshots of software versions, email correspondence, progress reports, staff timesheets, and source code documentation.
