Frequently asked

Common questions, answered

Short answers to the questions we hear most. Full library on the FAQ page.

What is cost segregation?

An engineering-based analysis that reclassifies components of a building into shorter depreciation lives (5, 7, 15 years) instead of the default 27.5 or 39 years — accelerating depreciation and cutting taxes in the early years.

How fast can you deliver?

Essentials in 5 business days, Standard in 7, Premium in 10. Portfolio studies run on a coordinated schedule across properties.

Do you do lookbacks?

Yes. We prepare the full Form 3115 workpaper so your CPA can file the change in accounting method and catch up missed depreciation in a single year.

What if the IRS audits the study?

The BluePrint Audit Defense Guarantee is included in every tier. The engineer who signed your study responds to the examiner directly, at no additional cost.
