Civil engineering & groundworks
Plant, capital allowances and long contracts with staged payments.
Plant, people and long contracts
Civils and groundworks businesses are heavy on plant and labour, and their contracts run for months with staged payments. That combination puts a premium on capital allowances, employment status and cash flow forecasting.
What we do differently
- Capital allowances and full expensing on every excavator, dumper and lorry, including those on hire purchase
- Plant utilisation reporting so you know whether to own or hire
- Long-term contract accounting under FRS 102, so profit is recognised as earned
- Payroll and CIS across a large, mobile workforce
- R&D claims where you've developed new methods or temporary works
Common issues we inherit
Plant bought on finance with no allowances claimed. Profit recognised only on completion, making the business look erratic to lenders. Subcontractor status risk across a labour-only supply chain.
