R&D in Architecture


Most modern architectural projects involve taking significant risks, the development and deployment of tailored software, and adapting up-to-date technology to solve different problems – both during the design stage and onsite.

Tying in with the construction industry, the architectural sector can never afford to rest on its laurels, making R&D work a necessity despite its costs. Some welcome relief can come from available R&D tax relief as architects look to balance their budgets with the need to create visionary plans for sustainable long-term projects.

 

What counts as R&D tax relief in the architecture sector?

Architecture SMEs who delve into scientific research are likely to be able to claim. Projects eligible for R&D tax relief might include:

 

  • Research into acoustics within buildings
  • Developing or improving software to help design or improve buildings
  • Working alongside the construction industry to source sustainable materials

How much R&D relief does the average architecture SME claim?

HMRC does not record stats for architecture SMEs specifically, but the average 2020/21 claim for construction SMEs was £46,347, while the Professional, Scientific & Technical category (which includes claims relating to building acoustics) claimed an even higher average of £69,304.
