Purpose-built Medical Centre

“E3 Consulting has played a valuable role in ensuring we have been able to provide a spacious, welcoming and high-quality primary care facility that will meet the needs of the community for years to come as well as support staff wellbeing too. It is an example for the rest of the NHS to follow as a key step in delivering on the NHS commitment to Net Zero Carbon”

Eugene Prinsloo, Development Director

Community Health Partnerships (CHP) were commissioning an innovative and advanced new purpose-built medical centre combining both ‘Modern Methods of Construction’ (MMC) and Passivhaus energy efficiency. Built to meet the ‘Excellent’ rating under the Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) for sustainability, CHP also wanted to secure the optimal return on investment for this trail-blazing property – by it being tax efficient too!

E³ Consulting were instructed to review and analyse the project expenditures and worked closely with the project team and project manager to optimise the capital allowances claim. The claim included Plant & Machinery (PMA), Integral Features (IFA) and Structures and Buildings Allowances (SBA), together with additional First Year Allowances (FYA) for Electric Vehicle Points and Annual Investment Allowances (AIA) on the first £1m (excluding SBAs).

Property tax relief achieved:

■          PMA of over £400,000

■          IFAs of approximately £655,000

■          FYAs circa £9,000

■          SBAs of £2million

■          First year tax savings of nearly £300,000, with total cumulative savings over time in the order of £600,000
