Experts in Property & Construction industry

Our Expertise

Sector expertise built over decades

Property and construction businesses operate in a dynamic, fast-moving and highly regulated environment. Having specialist advisers who actually understand your sector makes all the difference, especially when margins are tight, development finance is conditional, and HMRC is paying closer attention to the industry than ever.

BC&A acts for a diverse range of clients across property and construction, including housebuilders, contractors, commercial developers, architects, surveyors, landlords and building product suppliers. We combine commercial insight with practical advice to help you reduce risk, maintain cashflow and drive long-term value.

Full-Spectrum Support

Accounting, Tax & Advisory For Property Businesses

Our comprehensive service offering covers statutory accounts preparation, management accounts and financial forecasting for development projects and property portfolios. We handle long-term contract accounting, Service Charge Accounts preparation for residential and commercial property, and MTD-compliant digital record-keeping systems that scale with your business.

On the tax side, we specialise in corporation tax planning for property investment and development companies, capital gains tax strategy for disposals, and tax-efficient structuring of joint ventures, partnerships and SPVs. Our capital allowances reviews regularly uncover unclaimed reliefs, sometimes going back years, and our VAT expertise covers option to tax, golden brick, mixed-use developments, change of use and the reduced VAT rate opportunities that many firms miss.

Beyond compliance, we support developers and investors with cashflow forecasting, development appraisal and feasibility modelling, bank finance and bridging loan applications, project budgeting, and strategic advice on restructuring, exit and succession. Whether you're delivering one project or running a portfolio, we scale the support to match.

Accounting, Tax, CIS & Advisory For Construction industry

We provide specialist accounting and tax services to businesses and subcontractors operating within the construction industry. With extensive experience in the sector, we understand the day-to-day challenges faced by contractors, developers, tradespeople, and construction companies, including cash flow management, CIS compliance, payroll obligations, and managing fluctuating project income.

Our team assists with all aspects of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), including contractor and subcontractor registration, monthly CIS returns, verification of subcontractors, deduction statements, and reclaiming CIS tax suffered. We help ensure that businesses remain compliant with HMRC requirements while minimising administrative burdens and avoiding costly penalties.

In addition to CIS support, we provide bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll services, year-end accounts, corporation tax, and self-assessment tax returns tailored to the construction sector. We also advise on business structure, tax efficiency, and financial planning to help construction businesses grow sustainably and operate more efficiently.

Whether you are a sole trader subcontractor or a larger construction company, we offer practical, proactive advice and ongoing support designed to keep your finances organised and your business compliant.

    Questions From The Construction Industry

    Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is always happy to have a no-obligation conversation.

    Can we claim capital allowances on a commercial property we've just bought?
    Almost certainly yes, and retrospective reviews on older properties often uncover significant unclaimed allowances. We carry out a full capital allowances review on acquisition or historically, and handle the claim with HMRC.
    New residential builds are generally zero-rated, meaning you can reclaim input VAT without charging output VAT. Mixed-use, conversions and commercial builds follow different rules including option to tax, golden brick, and reduced-rate opportunities. We advise on the full VAT position from land acquisition through to sale.
    It depends on your income level, tax bracket, funding plans and long-term strategy. Limited company ownership has become more popular since Section 24 restricted mortgage interest relief, but it's not automatic and comes with additional admin. We run the numbers based on your circumstances.
    Yes. We handle the full Construction Industry Scheme compliance including contractor returns, subcontractor verification, deduction statements and gross payment status applications.
