Cost recovery & fixed assets

Most tax incentive studies are written by accountants. Ours are written by engineers and reviewed by CPAs.

A cost segregation study is only as strong as the engineering behind each classification. Green Summit builds defensible asset and cost records for your clients' properties, traced to source records and site inspection, that support your team's accounting and tax analysis; final filing decisions and tax returns remain with the authorized advisors.

What we offer accounting & advisory firms

  • Engineering-Based Cost Segregation

    For acquired, constructed and renovated properties: a study that traces every classification to source records, alongside your own analysis.

  • Fixed-Asset Reviews

    We review fixed-asset detail, cost allocations and supporting records so technical questions are resolved before they become reporting problems.

  • Hospitality Cost Segregation

    Lodging, food service, guest amenities and operating infrastructure, documented to reflect the installed property and the ownership or franchise arrangement.

  • Industrial & Warehouse Cost Segregation

    Industrial assets mix general building systems with equipment serving one operation; distinguishing those functions is central to a supportable analysis.

  • Medical & Healthcare Facilities Cost Segregation

    Building and clinical systems are closely integrated, so we analyze operational function while respecting access, infection-control and documentation constraints.

  • Multifamily Cost Segregation

    Apartment communities repeat unit features, but repetition is not documentation; the study covers each component's actual construction and function.

  • Office Buildings Cost Segregation

    A useful office study separates the current asset record from generations of tenant build-outs and evaluates what each component actually serves.

  • Partial Asset Disposition Studies

    Document what was removed, not just what went in: technical cost analyses for retired components that support your disposition review.

  • Repair vs. Capitalization Support

    Give the repair-or-improvement decision a technical foundation: engineering and cost analysis built on project-specific facts.

  • Retail & Strip Centers Cost Segregation

    The study reconciles different tenants, improvement histories and ownership responsibilities rather than applying one allocation to every suite.

  • Senior & Assisted Living Cost Segregation

    Residential, hospitality and healthcare functions can share one facility, so classification and recovery periods follow actual use, services and ownership.

  • Specialty Asset Classes Cost Segregation

    Outside standard categories, we evaluate atypical assets by function, construction and evidence, especially systems with both structural and operational roles.

How we work with your team

  • Choose the arrangement.

    Collaborative delivery with your client or behind-the-scenes technical support, with contacts and review responsibilities written down first.

  • Screen before we scope.

    We review the property, transaction and cost information with your team, and say plainly when a study is not worth doing.

  • Support your position.

    We explain each classification and stay available for examination questions; final filing decisions and tax returns remain with the authorized advisors.
