How does Unlevered build a cost segregation study?

It derives a spatial relationship model of the whole house, where every room, wall, opening, and surface becomes a node carrying rich detail down to installation procedure, appliance brand, and material quantities. That model is built into 3D for visual QA against the real property and its photos, then every component is classified against the tax code, priced, and sourced. The result is a fully interactive study you can drill from the roll-up down to how each floor is installed.

What makes this more defensible than a template study?

The reasoning is the system, not an engineer's memory or a spreadsheet. Because the study is built from a resolved spatial model with schema on every node and then classified against the tax code, each component traces to where it is in the house and why it is treated the way it is. The calculation is deterministic and reproducible, which is what an examiner can follow from the file itself.

Is the 3D model the study?

No. The 3D model is how we visually QA the facts against the actual property; it is a consumer of the resolved model, not the calculator. The deductions come from the classified components and the deterministic engine, and the interactive study is where they are priced, sourced, and made drillable.

How we build a study

From a house to a defensible, component-level study.

Every Unlevered study is engineered, not generated. We rebuild the property from its own evidence into a spatial model, construct it in 3D to check the facts, and deliver a fully interactive study where every component is priced, sourced, and classified against the tax code.

Step 01 · Spatial relationship model

Spatial nodes and relationship graphs engineer more defensible tax deductions.

We derive a spatial relationship model of the whole house, from AI vision, spatial geometry, and Bayesian NLP. Every room, wall, opening, and surface becomes a node with rich detail and schema down to installation procedure, brand of an appliance, and sqft of drywall or length and width of plumbing. All of it is then classified against the tax code.

Step 02 · 3D model

Then we build the property in 3D.

We turn the model into mesh and placement for every fact and measurement, so we can visually QA our study facts against the actual property and its photos.

Step 03 · The deliverable

It culminates in a fully interactive study.

Every component is priced and sourced, drill from the roll-up down to how a floor is installed, custom vs. box cabinets, and the framing and electrical running through each room.
