Without Drowning in Plan Takeoffs, ALTA Audits & RSMeans Cost Allocation

Precision Cost Segregation Support Built for CPAs & Engineering Firms
Your senior engineering and tax expertise belongs in final property classifications, audit defense discussions, and commercial real estate client acquisition. Let our managed assistants handle the time-draining document indexing, plan takeoffs, and preliminary allocation workbooks.
Basis Auditing & Document Intake
Transform chaotic acquisition folders into organized tax workpapers. We audit HUD-1 and ALTA settlement statements, reconcile county tax assessor land-to-building allocations, and standardize depreciation baselines for new and legacy acquisitions.
- Settlement statement purchase price & capitalized fee extraction
- Assessor real market value (RMV) land ratio analysis
- Client portal intake chasing: blueprints, appraisals & invoices
Bluebeam Quantity Takeoffs
Eliminate tedious manual scaling. We navigate architectural, civil, MEP, and landscaping plans in Bluebeam Revu, calculating square footage and linear footages for parking lots, concrete curbs, decorative millwork, and dedicated branch wiring.
- Site improvement takeoffs: asphalt paving, fencing, and curbs
- Interior finishes: specialty flooring, acoustic ceilings, and cabinetry
- Electrical & mechanical: dedicated equipment feeds and accent fixtures
Cost Modeling & Unit Pricing
Bridge engineering takeoffs with historical replacement cost databases. We map takeoff quantities to RSMeans Online and Marshall & Swift unit rates, applying regional city cost indexes (CCI) and historical inflation adjustments.
- RSMeans unit cost extraction and material/labor index adjustments
- Marshall & Swift square foot calculator & component breakdown
- Indirect soft cost allocation (permits, architectural fees, financing)
MACRS Asset Class Scheduling
Accelerate depreciation accurately under IRC § 1245 and § 1250. We build preliminary asset matrices reallocating costs into 5-year, 7-year personal property and 15-year land improvements while isolating 27.5-year / 39-year building structures.
- Whiteco Industries 6-factor test documentation for § 1245 property
- Bonus depreciation phase-out schedules (100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%)
- Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) 15-year classification
Form 3115 & §481(a) Workpapers
Unlock missed depreciation on previously placed-in-service buildings without amending past returns. We calculate Section 481(a) favorable adjustments and draft automatic accounting method change attachments (DCN #7).
- Prior depreciation allowed vs. allowable calculation tables
- Form 3115 look-back study schedule & statement formatting
- Partial Asset Disposition (PAD) write-off calculations (Reg. 1.168(i)-8)
IRS ATG Audit Trail Assembly
Deliver defensible, polished engineering reports that sail through IRS scrutiny. We assemble site inspection photo logs, link technical engineering narratives to line items, and catalog workpapers matching the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide.
- Site inspection photo indexing, geotag verification & captioning
- Technical report narrative formatting in Word / Adobe InDesign
- CPA deliverable bundling: executive summaries & fixed asset import files
