Cost Segregation Studies

Cost segregation involves careful analysis of a real estate project that segregates costs for depreciation purposes as personal property, land improvements or building. A cost segregation study increases cash flow by accelerating depreciation in the early years of the project's life. The tax savings from depreciation, normally received in later years, now come in the early years.

BHZ has formed a strategic alliance with a construction management company. This knowledgeable, experienced team of cost segregation consultants and engineers will effectively identify and segregate your company's assets, providing you with significant savings. We want to help your business become tax-efficient by taking advantage of all available opportunities.
