3D Documentation for Cost Segregation Studies

A cost segregation study finds the parts of your building that depreciate faster. But the study is only as good as the site documentation behind it.

Missed assets mean missed deductions. Return visits burn fee. And a folder of unlabeled photos won’t defend anything.

We capture the whole property in 3D, every room, every asset, every finish, so your study is built on a complete, defensible record.

What You Get

• Full 3D walkthrough of the property. Measurable. Navigable. Nothing left to memory.
• 360° photo documentation of every space, inside and out.
• Asset documentation. Equipment, fixtures, and finishes photographed and pinned to their exact location in the tour.
• Floor plans and measurements generated from the scan.
• Condition documentation. Before, during, and after, where the project needs it.

Who It’s For

• Cost segregation firms and tax engineering teams that need complete site documentation without sending staff to every property.
• CPAs advising clients on whether a study makes sense.
• Commercial property owners and managers who want their study built on a full visual record, not a clipboard.

How It Works

1. You send the property list. One building or a portfolio. We schedule the capture.
2. We scan the site. Most properties are captured in a single visit.
3. You get the record. The 3D tour, floor plans, and organized asset documentation. Your engineers do the study from anywhere.

Why 3D Instead of Photos and Clipboards

• Nothing gets missed. The whole building is in the record, not just what someone remembered to photograph.
• No second truck rolls. When your engineer needs to check a detail, they walk the tour instead of driving back out.
• Remote review. Engineers classify assets from the 3D record without traveling to the site.
• Defensible. A complete visual record stands behind the study.

What We Don’t Do

We don’t perform the engineering study, and we don’t give tax advice. Your cost segregation provider applies current tax law to the documentation we capture. We’re the documentation layer, the most complete one you’ll find.

Keep the Record Alive

Finished the study? The same 3D record can stay live as an Asset Connect record of the building and everything in it, useful the next time you remodel, refinance, or need to prove what was there.

Common Questions

What is a cost segregation study?
An engineering-based analysis that identifies building components eligible for shorter depreciation periods, typically 5, 7, or 15 years instead of 39. That accelerates deductions for the property owner. It’s performed by a specialized firm or CPA.

How does 3D documentation help a cost segregation study?
The study depends on a complete inventory of the property’s components. A 3D walkthrough with pinned asset documentation gives the engineering team the full picture, remotely, measurably, and without return visits.

Do you perform cost segregation studies?
No. We capture the site documentation. Your cost segregation firm or CPA performs the study and handles all tax positions.

What types of properties do you document?
Office, retail, restaurant, multifamily, industrial, medical, hospitality: any commercial property going through a study.

How long does a site capture take?
Most single properties are captured in one visit. Timeline depends on square footage and complexity. Contact us with the property details and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can our engineers access the tour remotely?
Yes. The 3D tour, floor plans, and asset documentation are all web-based. Your team reviews from anywhere.
