Engineering-based cost segregation

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.

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.

▲ Illustrative estimate only. The bonus-depreciation % is auto-selected from your years using the PATH Act, TCJA phase-down, and OBBBA rules; exact eligibility also depends on the precise acquisition date (notably the Sept 27, 2017 and Jan 19, 2025 cutoffs) and binding-contract rules.

The principle

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.

Without a study

One slow line.

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.

With Precision

The fast layers, freed.

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.

Why Precision

Built like the buildings we study.

01

Engineering-based, not estimated

We use the detailed engineering methodology the IRS regards as the most reliable — every component identified, measured, and sourced. Defensible by design.

02

Audit-ready documentation

Each study ships with a complete, referenced report your CPA and any examiner can follow line by line.

03

Free, honest feasibility first

If a study won't pay for itself, we'll tell you before you spend anything. Precision means knowing when the answer is "not yet."
