Service tiers

Four tiers, scoped to the property

Study packages depend on property size, complexity, documentation, and the assigned specialist team. Build a benefit estimate to see the tier that fits your property — final pricing is confirmed in your BluePrint engagement letter. No hourly rates, no surprise invoices.

Why Premium

Premium is the right tier for higher-basis properties or any property with specialty MEP, hospitality FF&E, or industrial process equipment that needs asset-level backup. It adds the in-person engineer site visit, full blueprint and MEP review, custom workpapers, and direct CPA collaboration — the diligence complex studies require to hold up under examination.

Audit support included on every completed study

If the IRS or a tax advisor questions the study's classifications, methodology, cost allocations, or supporting documentation, the specialist firm that completed the study is required to provide technical support for its work. BluePrint helps coordinate the process so clients and CPAs are not left chasing answers.
