A study is only as useful as the work behind it. This hub covers what studies generally cost and why quotes differ, how engineering-based approaches compare with software-only estimates, what a report should contain, how to evaluate a provider, and how to think about audit defense and documentation.
Fee information here is stated generally. There is no official price list, and any figure you see should be treated as an orientation. Ask for a written scope and price for your property, and compare deliverables, not only prices.
If you are comparing quotes, begin with What Drives the Price of a Cost Segregation Study. If you are choosing a method, begin with Engineering-Based Versus Software-Only Studies. If you are worried about scrutiny, read Audit Defense and Documentation for Cost Segregation and The IRS Audit Techniques Guide in Plain Terms. To protect yourself from pushy sales pitches, read Red Flags in Cost Segregation Study Proposals.
