Cost Segregation Studies

Through our subsidiary, MS Consultants, LLC, The Bonadio Group helps real estate owners and investors use cost segregation studies (CSS) to accelerate overall property depreciation in order to produce a current income tax benefit. Whether commercial, industrial, multifamily, or special purpose real estate, the MS Consultant team of construction specialists and tax experts perform a comprehensive re-engineering of the total cost or value of a building and site improvements, and then allocate the value or cost of all eligible components to certain specific federal tax depreciable life categories.

An MS Consultants CSS identifies the nonstructural components of an owner’s building, assigns costs to the components, and increases the owner’s depreciation values by lowering the components’ tax life. Faster depreciation results in tax savings for the owner much earlier than the usual 27 to 39 years. At the core of our ability to help our clients realize more tax benefits from their property is a complex weave of construction engineering expertise combined with tax experience relative to specific IRS guidelines and regulations, tax court cases, revenue rulings, and current legislation.
