Could your construction or engineering firm be sitting on massive tax savings without even realizing it?
In this eye-opening episode, Mason Brady is joined by Layton Johns and Jacob Wood from Capstan Tax to break down the major changes to R&D tax credits in the wake of the ”Big Beautiful Bill.” Learn how construction, engineering, and design-build firms can now reclaim massive deductions, avoid IRS pitfalls, and even unlock retroactive cash. If you’ve ignored R&D incentives before, 2025 may be your golden opportunity.
Topics we cover:
(02:23) – What qualifies as R&D for construction and design-build firms.
(07:20) – Differences between tax deductions and credits for R&D.
(14:24) – How the 2025 tax law eliminates amortization for domestic R&D.

(28:55) – Industry sectors contractors should target for R&D-heavy projects.
