Qualifying R&D project 1.

USR was contracted to service mains water pipes for a residential development in Dartford, Kent. The project required lowering and reinforcing pipes and installing a 5-way water distribution component. The standard Cofferdam solution was rejected due to cost, leading USR to develop a bespoke system using fabricated steel components. The project involved significant technological uncertainties but resulted in a unique, cost-effective, and efficient solution.

This project satisfied BISS Guideline 9c: Make an appreciable improvement to an existing process, material, device, product, or service.

USR’s project demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge and capability, leading to an efficient, cost-effective, and adaptable solution that benefited their clients and the construction industry. The successful R&D tax claim provided valuable financial support for future projects and business growth.

The team at BIG (Business Innovation Group) was a massive help. Clear, concise information throughout and made the process very simple. Their compliance checks, procedures, and all-round duty of care gave me and the team peace of mind that this was something worth progressing with, and the result is a sure sign that our decision was correct. I look forward to working with Lewis again moving forward.
