ELB has completed over 15,000 studies ranging in size from small office remodels to billion dollar high-tech manufacturing plants. Our skilled staff of cost segregation specialists uses the highest level of engineering methodology as defined by the I.R.S. to produce highly detailed, accurate, and defendable “fully engineered and accounted” cost segregation studies.

When comparing the I.R.S. Audit Techniques Guide methodologies, our cost segregation report format and methodology EXCEEDS the requirements of the Detailed Engineering Approach from Actual Cost Records or Detailed Engineering Cost Estimate Approach. 

Our team of experts has created the most detailed engineering methodology available in the industry. An ELB Cost Segregation Study will account for EVERY qualifying component (5, 7 and 15 year items) and non-qualifying component (39 year or 27.5 year items). Our study not only allows us to maximize depreciation by addressing components our competitors never consider, it provides our clients with a fixed asset tool. 

 

Other firms produce an “engineered based” study format (Survey or Letter, or Residual as defined by the I.R.S.) which can result in thousands and/or millions of dollars STILL LEFT ON THE TABLE.

 

Our unique study format is “Fully Engineered and Accounted” and provides the highest level study detail and tax benefits available to the client. This study format was developed for the following primary reasons:
