Inspection & Report Writing
At Precision Cost Segregation Inspections, we combine industry-leading engineering practices with precise cost estimation techniques and meticulous attention to detail to deliver accurate, actionable results.
Our process begins with a comprehensive on-site inspection. Each building component and land improvement is carefully assessed — including structural elements, specialized systems, and unique property features — to establish replacement costs and depreciation characteristics.
To ensure precise valuation, we utilize advanced tools like the Marshall & Swift Pricing Guide along with proprietary data. This enables us to calculate Replacement Cost New Less Depreciation (RCNLD) — a trusted method for determining asset value after accounting for physical wear and functional obsolescence.
Each component is then assigned to the correct IRS-defined depreciation class, optimizing tax benefits in full compliance with federal guidelines.
Our team also conducts a full reconciliation of calculated values to ensure alignment with the property’s improvement basis on a pro-rata basis. The final deliverable is a clear, comprehensive report that includes:
-
Categorized asset values
-
Applicable depreciation schedules
-
Actionable recommendations tailored to your property
By applying rigorous analysis and cutting-edge methodology, our team delivers results that exceed industry benchmarks — equipping property owners with the insights they need to maximize tax savings, improve cash flow, and make smarter financial decisions.

Financial Benefits of Cost Segregation Inspections
A cost segregation inspection is a powerful financial strategy for property owners looking to increase cash flow and reduce taxable income. By identifying and reclassifying qualifying building components into shorter depreciation categories, this specialized analysis accelerates deductions and often results in immediate tax savings.
These savings can be reinvested directly into the property, used for business growth, or reserved for future planning — giving owners greater control over their capital.
Beyond the tax advantages, cost segregation also uncovers hidden value within a property, helping owners make smarter, more strategic financial decisions. For those renovating, expanding, or acquiring commercial properties, a cost segregation study ensures that all eligible assets are properly categorized — unlocking maximum savings through accelerated depreciation.
Over time, this approach contributes to:
-
Increased profitability
-
Improved cash management
-
Higher returns on investment
Whether you’re managing commercial or residential real estate, a cost segregation inspection provides a clear and compliant path to long-term financial optimization.
