Early involvement in a major fit-out helped the client understand the capital allowances implications of design decisions before key project commitments and procurement choices were made.


Issue

The client needed to balance design, operational requirements and budget constraints while understanding how asset choices, procurement routes and specification decisions could affect the timing of available capital allowances relief.

Solution

We reviewed signed contracts, advised on qualifying asset categories, considered commercially appropriate design options and undertook physical surveys to build a robust evidence base for the claim.

Outcome

The client improved cash-flow forecasting during the project and identified accelerated relief where technically supportable, with the claim backed by clear documentation, contract analysis and survey evidence.
