Tax Saving Strategies for Residential & Commercial Property Owners

Detailed Engineering Approach from Actual Cost Records

The detailed engineering approach from actual cost records, also called the “detailed cost approach” or “direct cost method”, uses cost information from contemporaneous construction and accounting records. In general, it is the most methodical and accurate approach, relying on solid documentation of the construction costs and minimal cost estimating. Construction documentation, such as construction drawings, specifications, contracts, job reports, change orders, payment requests, and vendor and supplier invoices, are used to determine unit costs.

Detailed Engineering Cost Estimate Approach

The detailed engineering cost estimate approach (or detailed estimate approach) is similar to the detailed cost approach. The difference is that the detailed estimate approach estimates costs, rather than using actual costs. This approach is used when cost records are not available such as for an acquisition of used property

Construction Cost Estimate Approach

The construction cost estimate approach is a hybrid of the detailed engineering cost estimate approach and a modeling approach. The modeling approach uses a created model (or template) to analyze multiple facilities that are nearly identical in construction, appearance, and use.
