Construction

As one of the leading specialist advisers to the construction industry, we provide seamless solutions incorporating taxation, audit and strategic advice. We act for a diverse range of construction businesses, from quoted companies to smaller family-owned businesses.

We review each client’s business on its own merits, taking account of stakeholders’ objectives and the bespoke planning opportunities available. We provide purpose-driven solutions and give objective, independent and informed advice to implement solutions which increase profitability and value. Our teams are partner-led, and work towards forming long-term relationships with our clients.

We offer solutions and advice in the following service areas: Business structuring; audit compliance; employer solutions; Construction Industry Scheme and employment status matters; direct tax consulting; growth strategic services and strategy planning; VAT advice, stamp duty land tax advice; capital allowances planning and evaluation; transfer pricing; business recovery and re-organisation; forensic and investigation services; corporate finance; project finance; and risk management.

We are actively involved in the sector as members of the British Property Federation and the Housebuilders Federation, and are proud to sponsor and audit the Contract Journal Awards. We are the preferred supplier for the National Federation of Builders, and regularly speak at industry events organised by bodies such as the National Federation of Builders, Contract Journal, Lexis Nexis. We produce regular Property and Construction-focused newsletters and factsheets as well as holding Construction-related seminars and other events. We regularly lobby Government on industry issues such as the Construction Industry Scheme, and have written a book on the new Construction Industry Scheme (published by CCH) giving key guidance on how to avoid the risks of non-compliance and penalties associated with the new scheme.
