The construction industry plays a vital role in economic development, infrastructure growth, and urban planning. As the sector evolves with new technologies, sustainability goals, and regulatory changes, construction companies face both challenges and opportunities in accessing funding and tax incentives.
This page explores key grant management programs and tax incentives available to the construction industry, including the 179D and 45L tax incentives, cost segregation, R&D tax credits,
payroll tax credits, and more.
Building Deduction
The 179D tax incentive encourages construction companies to invest in energy-efficient upgrades for commercial buildings.
By incorporating sustainable practices and technologies—such as energy-efficient HVAC systems, lighting, and insulation—contractors can help property owners qualify for substantial tax deductions based on the energy savings achieved. This incentive not only reduces operational costs but also supports the broader goal of environmental sustainability in construction projects.
Home Credit
The 45L tax incentive is particularly relevant for builders and developers focusing on residential construction. By constructing energy-efficient homes that meet specific criteria, construction companies can claim a tax credit for each qualifying unit.
This incentive promotes sustainable building practices and can significantly enhance the profitability of residential projects, encouraging developers to adopt greener construction methods.
R&D Tax Credit
The R&D tax credit is an essential resource for construction companies that engage in innovative design, materials development, or construction techniques. Firms can claim tax credits for qualifying R&D activities aimed at developing new construction methods, improving safety protocols, or utilizing advanced building materials. This incentive supports innovation and efficiency improvements.
Payroll Tax Credit
Payroll tax credits are beneficial for construction companies looking to expand their workforce. By providing incentives for qualified wages, these credits encourage firms to hire and train workers in skilled trades. Given the industry’s reliance on a well-trained labor force, investing in employee development is crucial for maintaining high standards of quality and safety on construction sites.
Support for Technology Adoption
As technology continues to transform the construction industry, several grants and funding programs are available to support the adoption of innovative tools and solutions. These may include funding for building information modeling (BIM), project management software, and safety technology. By securing available funding, construction firms can improve project efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety protocols.
Sustainable Construction Projects
Various government and nonprofit organizations offer grants specifically aimed at promoting sustainable construction practices. These grants can support projects focused on green building certifications, renewable energy installations, and waste reduction initiatives. Construction companies can leverage these funding opportunities to enhance their sustainability efforts and meet evolving regulatory requirements.
Cost Segregation
Cost segregation is a powerful tax strategy for construction companies that own or lease commercial real estate.
By identifying and segregating specific components of a building, such as land improvements, personal property, and certain building systems, companies can accelerate depreciation deductions. This results in improved cash flow, allowing firms to reinvest savings into new projects, technology, or workforce development.
