Engineering-based cost segregation studies designed to maximize your tax savings.
A cost segregation study is a detailed engineering analysis that identifies building components which can be reclassified into shorter depreciation categories under the IRS tax code. Instead of depreciating your entire property over 27.5 years (residential) or 39 years (commercial), we identify assets that qualify for 5, 7, or 15-year depreciation.
This reclassification accelerates your depreciation deductions, meaning more tax savings in the early years of property ownership. When combined with bonus depreciation provisions, the results can be substantial — often putting tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars back in your pocket.
Our studies are conducted by qualified engineers who physically analyze your property's construction components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, site improvements, and more to identify every eligible asset.
Every study includes a comprehensive deliverable package your CPA can use immediately.
A detailed, narrative report documenting our methodology, findings, and asset classifications. This is the backbone of your cost segregation study.
A complete breakdown of every reclassified asset with cost allocations across 5, 7, 15, 27.5, and 39-year depreciation categories.
All supporting documentation required for IRS compliance, including Form 3115 guidance for look-back studies on previously purchased properties.
Clear instructions for your CPA on how to apply the study results to your tax return, including year-one deduction calculations.
We conduct cost segregation studies across a wide range of property types.
Airbnb, VRBO, and vacation rental properties. Cost segregation is especially impactful for STR owners who may qualify as real estate professionals, allowing them to offset active income with accelerated depreciation.
Duplexes, triplexes, apartment complexes, and large multi-family developments. These properties typically contain significant reclassifiable assets in common areas, landscaping, and individual units.
Single-tenant and multi-tenant office properties. Tenant improvements, specialized electrical systems, and site work often qualify for shorter depreciation.
Hospitality properties have substantial personal property components — furniture, fixtures, equipment, decorative elements — that qualify for accelerated depreciation.
Healthcare facilities contain specialized plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, and equipment that are prime candidates for reclassification into shorter depreciation categories.
Manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, and self-storage properties. Heavy mechanical systems and site improvements drive significant reclassification value.
Retail stores, shopping centers, and restaurants. Tenant improvements, specialized kitchen equipment, and decorative finishes often qualify for 5 or 7-year depreciation.
Self-storage facilities contain numerous site improvements, specialized doors, security systems, and paving that qualify for accelerated depreciation schedules.
A proven, streamlined approach from initial consultation to final report.
We discuss your property, review basic information, and provide a free proposal outlining expected savings and study cost.
We gather construction documents, closing statements, and other relevant records to inform our engineering analysis.
Our engineers conduct a thorough analysis of your property's components, identifying and quantifying assets eligible for reclassification.
We deliver your comprehensive cost segregation report and walk you and your CPA through the findings and implementation steps.
The cost of a study depends on your property's type, value, and complexity. Our studies are competitively priced and designed to deliver significant ROI.
Most property owners see a 5-10x return on their investment in a cost segregation study. Your tax savings far exceed the cost of the study itself.
Every engagement begins with a free, no-obligation proposal that outlines the expected tax benefit and study cost, so you can make an informed decision before committing.
