Innovating Beyond Expectations When a premier design-build engineering and construction firm embarked on its latest slate of high-end projects, innovation was at the heart of their approach. They developed custom designs, tested new materials, and refined complex processes to deliver results that exceeded client expectations. But amidst all their efforts to push boundaries, they were overlooking a significant financial opportunity: R&D tax credits.
