@Art Marquez  for your architecture needs!  

I’ve paid for permit applications, clearing trees, survey, design and engineering, and architectural plans.

Assets identified in this study include:Permanent Fixtures: windows, doors, bathroom fixturesStructural Components: Roof construction, drywall, wood framingBuilding systems: water heater, electrical distribution, HVAC, plumbingInterior Construction: Wood flooring, stairs, ceramic tileThis engineering-based cost segregation study included the following methodology:Physical Inspection through a site visitDocumentation review including architectural plans, accounting records and construction documentsA cost analysis which utilizes engineering principles in order to allocate costs to their applicable asset classificationsCalculation of the depreciation schedule using MACRSAs a reminder, bonus depreciation started to phase out in 2023.

- My area of expertise is within the field of architecture and construction.

An activity is a personal service activity if it involves the performance of personal services in the fields of health (including veterinary services), law, engineering, architecture, accounting, actuarial science, performing arts, consulting, or any other trade or business in which capital isn’t a material income-producing factor.7.

For example, I’m doing three side by side duplexes and it’s costing me $135 psf, but I had to spend an extra $10k per foundation because of bad soil, and the smaller the property the higher the cost psfI’m working on a 28 unit with elevator, demo required, green roof, and it’ll cost me around the same psf as the duplexes.I’m doing three side by side triplexes which are full renovations, basement digout, all new facades, and that’s costing me about $106 psf for construction Non of these numbers include architecture, geotech, MEPS, environmental, utility plan, or finance costs

Another option is to take the drawings to an structural engineer and have him or her to sign the engineering drawing not the architecture.

What you may save in material you will make up for in engineering and architecture fees. 

How much cash have you already injected into the deal including soft costs like architectural fees, permitting, etc...that you can document.
