Superior Benefits
Our studies typically reclassify an additional 6–15% of a property’s purchase price, excluding land, into shorter-life assets. On a $5 million building, that delivers $300k–$750k in accelerated depreciation that other providers miss.
Unsurpassed Methodology
Our team uses the most detailed and defensible IRS-recognized approaches 1 and 2 from the Cost Segregation Audit Technique Guide, to ensure every eligible component is accounted for to maximize your savings.
Precision Over Speed
Our 6–8 week process digs deep into every square foot of your building, identifying more assets for faster depreciation—and more money in your pocket than you would get from an automated study.
Unrivaled Audit Protection
With over 23 years of experience and more than 15,000 studies completed, our team has never lost an IRS audit. Audit defense is included at no extra cost—and unlike others, we do not cap our hours. That means total peace of mind for you.
Why a Cost Segregation Study Is a Smart Move
Without a cost segregation study, most of your building is depreciated over 27.5 or 39 years—slow and inefficient.
A cost segregation study reclassifies eligible components (like electrical, plumbing, and finishes) into 5-, 7-, or 15-year categories—unlocking up to 100% bonus depreciation on those components in year one.
That typically means $300,000 to $700,000+ in immediate tax savings per property—money you can reinvest, not leave on the table.
IRS-Recognized Approaches
The IRS outlines six approaches in its Cost Segregation Audit Technique Guide.
Only the top two are engineered to maximize write-offs and breeze through an audit.
Our team uses both—so you keep more, worry less, and sleep well.
Based on interviews, weak documentation.
Cherry-picks obvious assets, misses hidden ones.
Uses software on “similar” buildings, not yours.
No inspection or property-specific detail.
Real Clients. Real Results.

Not really. CPAs are not trained engineers—and cost segregation is an engineering-based analysis. Your CPA manages your overall tax strategy; our team provides the detailed building analysis. When your CPA and our team work together, you capture every allowable deduction with a rock-solid, audit-ready cost-segregation study—maximizing your savings.
Fees depend on the building type and engineering complexity; once basic property details are in hand, our team issues a fixed-fee quote—never a percentage of your refund. Straightforward structures cost less, while intricate or multi-use facilities require a higher investment. Each proposal includes an estimated first-year tax benefit so you can judge the ROI before committing.
Our team delivers Detailed Engineering Studies that follow IRS Cost Segregation Audit Technique Guide Approaches #1 and #2, typically shifting an extra 6–15 % of the building’s purchase price—excluding land—into shorter-life asset classes, outperforming most providers. Expect larger, faster deductions, full audit defense at no extra cost, and a partner CPAs have trusted for 23 years.
The ideal moment is the first tax year after purchase, but any property held for fewer than ten years can still “catch up” on missed depreciation with a single Form 3115 adjustment—no amended returns needed. Even buildings owned longer may qualify after major renovations or tenant improvements. Our team secures the full tax benefit whenever you start.
A cost segregation study breaks a commercial or residential rental building into its individual components—lighting, flooring, wiring, landscaping, and more—and moves those items from 27.5- or 39-year schedules into 5-, 7-, or 15-year classes. The result is front-loaded deductions that boost early cash flow and defer taxes. Our engineering team applies IRS Audit Technique Guide Approaches #1 and #2 to identify every eligible component, ensuring maximum depreciation, full audit protection, and increased cash flow.
