Studies engineered to be defensible — and to pay for themselves.

Every engagement is grounded in the detailed engineering approach the IRS regards as the most reliable. Whether you just closed or bought years ago, there's a service built for it.

Full Detailed Engineering Study

Our most thorough and defensible study. Engineers analyze your property component by component — finishes, fixtures, systems, and site work — and reclassify everything that qualifies into 5-, 7-, and 15-year lives. The result is the highest, most audit-ready acceleration of your depreciation.

CapEx & Improvement Study

For renovations, build-outs, and capital improvements. We analyze your improvement spend to capture short-life components and accelerate them — and, where applicable, identify partial asset dispositions so you can write off what was removed or replaced.

Form 3115 (Change in Accounting Method)

Own the property since a prior year? We prepare Form 3115 so you can claim the depreciation you missed all at once via a 481(a) catch-up — bringing those deductions into the current year, typically with no amended returns.

Properties we work on

If you depreciate it, it's worth a look.

Office & Retail

Buildings, strip centers, and mixed-use — typically 20–30% of basis eligible.

Multifamily & Apartments

Rich, fast-life interiors and site work to recover on a 27.5-year line.

Industrial & Warehouse

Specialty power, racking, and site improvements hide short-life value.

Medical & Dental

Heavy build-outs and specialty systems — among the highest-yielding studies.

Restaurants & Hospitality

Kitchens, finishes, and FF&E push the reclassifiable share toward the top.

New Builds & Renovations

Ground-up and major improvements — we work from your cost records and plans.
