Recover the value already in your building.
A cost segregation study reclassifies parts of your property into shorter depreciation lives — turning a future deduction into cash in your pocket this year. We measure it the way an engineer would: deliberately, defensibly, and to the last dollar.
See the order of magnitude.
Enter your numbers for a quick, illustrative estimate of the accelerated depreciation a study could surface. Bonus depreciation is selected automatically from your acquisition and placed-in-service years. A real study is always precise — this is the back-of-the-napkin.
A building is not one asset. It is many, recovered on different clocks.
The IRS lets you depreciate a commercial building over 39 years and residential rental over 27.5. But much of what's inside — carpeting, cabinetry, specialty wiring, landscaping, parking — has a far shorter useful life. Cost segregation identifies and documents those components so they depreciate over 5, 7, or 15 years instead.
The entire purchase price is locked into a 27.5- or 39-year straight line. Deductions trickle out evenly for decades, and the time-value of that money quietly erodes.
We engineer the property into its strata, accelerate every component that qualifies, and front-load the deductions — often a large first-year reduction in taxable income and immediate cash flow you can redeploy.
