Cost Seg Smart is cost segregation software in the sense that the engineering analysis is automated end-to-end. But the deliverable is a 40+ page CPA-ready PDF report — not a spreadsheet, not a self-serve tool. You order the study, our engine runs it, and the report is in your inbox in 1–2 business days.
Shopping the whole category rather than evaluating us specifically? Our comparison of cost segregation software and automated providers puts the self-service tools, the engineer-reviewed tiers, and the done-for-you platforms side by side on price, review, and audit terms.
How "software" differs from "DIY tool"
DIY cost-seg tools ask you to fill in your own component estimates and produce a summary-level output you then hand to your CPA. The IRS Audit Techniques Guide makes clear that summary-level studies without engineering documentation are weak under audit. Cost Seg Smart isn't that — our engine performs the engineered analysis; you don't enter component costs.
What the engine does
- Public government construction cost data component cost library, regional + quality multipliers
- MACRS classification across 200+ components
- QC gate with internal technical review on flagged outputs
- 40+ page PDF with depreciation schedules + Form 3115 readiness
