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.
If you depreciate it, it's worth a look.
Office & Retail
Buildings, strip centers, and mixed-use — typically 20–30% of basis eligible for acceleration.
Multifamily & Apartments
Residential rental on a 27.5-year line has rich, fast-life interiors and site work to recover.
Industrial & Warehouse
Specialty power, racking, and site improvements often hide significant short-life value.
Medical & Dental
Heavy build-outs and specialty systems make these among the highest-yielding studies.
Restaurants & Hospitality
Kitchens, finishes, and FF&E push the reclassifiable share toward the top of the range.
New Builds & Renovations
Ground-up construction and major improvements — we work from your cost records and plans.
