Strategic tax planning built into your development timeline. We understand construction budgets, draw schedules, and investor returns — because we’ve been on your side of the table.
Development is capital-intensive. Between land acquisition, construction costs, financing, and exit strategy, every dollar matters. Most developers depreciate completed projects at standard rates — missing opportunities to accelerate deductions, improve cash-on-cash returns, and enhance investor distributions during the hold period.
Ground-up construction creates numerous short-life assets — sitework, MEP systems, specialty finishes. Without engineering analysis, these depreciate over 27.5 or 39 years instead of 5, 7, or 15.
Accelerated depreciation increases distributable cash flow during hold period. Better tax benefits mean stronger investor returns and easier future fundraising.
Our team reconstructs costs using detailed records, engineering analysis, and site inspections — delivering accurate, defensible results even after a project is complete.
§179D and §45L provide substantial benefits for qualified projects. Most developers don't know they qualify or miss documentation requirements.
Former contractors on our team. We understand pay apps, draw schedules, and change orders. No explaining required.
Whether the project is newly completed or placed in service years ago, we work from existing documentation to deliver an efficient, low-friction study.
One project or twenty, same quality. Consistent methodology, predictable delivery.
Accelerated depreciation reduces tax liability during hold period. More distributable cash flow means better investor returns and stronger IRR.
We incorporate available construction records into our engineering-based approach to support accuracy and defensibility — whether the study is completed during or after construction.
§179D and §45L provide immediate deductions and credits for qualifying projects. We identify eligibility early and document compliance properly.
Consistent methodology across multiple projects. Predictable timelines and standardized reporting for internal tracking.
The 1245 Exchange helps reduce depreciation recapture on sale, supported by strategic planning for dispositions and refinances to preserve long-term gains.
Comprehensive reports designed to support tax reporting and make it easier for advisors to interpret and apply the results.
Engaging early allows us to align on documentation and strategy upfront—positioning the project to maximize first-year deductions once placed in service.
Substantial rehab or adaptive reuse projects. Interior improvements, system replacements, and tenant build-outs generate significant reclassification opportunities.
Multiple properties reaching stabilization or placed in service. Consistent cost segregation methodology across the portfolio improves consolidated tax position.
Building to energy standards (LEED, Energy Star, above-code performance). §179D and §45L provide substantial deductions and credits per unit or square foot.
Preparing for disposition or exit. 1245 Exchange and strategic planning minimize recapture exposure and protect gains during sale or refinance.
From project kickoff to placed-in-service dates, we coordinate with your timeline. Most studies are completed within 3-4 weeks of receiving final documentation.
