Real estate is often among a business’s largest investments—yet many organizations leave meaningful tax benefits untapped. Cost segregation helps you recover those dollars sooner by identifying components of your building that qualify for shorter depreciable lives. By accelerating depreciation, you can reduce current tax liability, increase cash flow, and improve the return on your property investment.
Whether you’ve constructed a new facility, acquired a building, completed an expansion, or made significant improvements, we help you evaluate your opportunities and guide you through a cost segregation study that is engineered, documented, and defensible.
Who We Serve
Cost segregation can benefit both new and existing properties. We frequently support projects involving new construction, acquisitions, tenant improvements, expansions, and facilities placed in service in prior years—leveraging IRS “catch-up” depreciation to secure missed deductions without the need for return amendments.
We work with owners, investors, and developers across a wide range of industries and property types, including:

Frequently Asked Questions
We compiled a list of answers to address your most processing questions regarding our Services.
Either the owner or the designer of a commercial building can claim the deduction. If the building owner pays federal income tax, it may deduct its own 179D deduction. If the building owner is a federal, state, or local government, or is a tax exempt entity, the building owner may allocate the deduction to designer of the building or its systems.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act sunsets the availability of 179D deductions for any construction that starts after June 30, 2026. Building owners should keep this date in mind when planning the timing of near-term capital improvements since 179D often provides a sizeable benefit.
You still qualify for a 179D deduction. The Inflation Reduction Act included incentives to increase the 179D deduction benefit for building owners who: 1) paid prevailing wages to construct or renovate the building; and 2) employed a set minimum number of apprentices during the construction.
We do the energy modeling for you to determine the level of energy efficiency as part of our standard consulting process.
