Engineer’s Cost Segregation Analysis
Cost Segregation Services
Cost segregation is a tax-planning strategy that helps property owners accelerate depreciation by identifying and reclassifying building components into shorter-lived asset categories. When correctly applied, cost segregation can increase near-term cash flow by moving certain costs onto faster recovery schedules instead of the standard long-lived real-property schedule.
How it works
A cost segregation study uses a detailed, engineering-based review of a property’s systems, finishes, and land improvements to identify and quantify items that qualify for shorter depreciation lives (for example, components that may be recoverable over 5, 7, or 15 years instead of the building’s longer schedule). The analysis relies on construction records, cost data, and field information provided by your team.
Who it’s for
When your clients purchase, construct, or renovate an income-producing property, you can connect them with Noble’s engineering-based cost segregation studies. Adding measurable tax-planning value under your brand.
Offering cost segregation services under the Noble brand adds demonstrable value to your client services. With Noble, partners can:
Offer an engineering-based study prepared and documented by experienced analysts—without having to build in-house technical teams.
Present clients with a clear, defensible analysis that supports tax-timing decisions and potential near-term cash-flow improvements.
Choose how to integrate the service: we can perform the study end-to-end, collaborate with your team, or provide technical review of partner-prepared studies.
This service is offered in all states. Because state tax treatment can differ, we recommend partners and clients coordinate findings with their state tax advisor when applying study results to state returns. Noble’s deliverables are intended to support a client’s tax position, but they do not replace personalized tax advice.
