Our editorial review of Seneca Cost Segregation
Seneca’s published workflow makes the draft-review stage a useful point to investigate. A buyer should ask whether the owner and CPA will receive the same draft, who collects their questions, and when corrections become final. That conversation tests how the proposed service will work for this property without guessing from an engineering label.
A buyer who needs a defined review window should compare the proposed draft process with the CPA’s filing calendar. A buyer mainly concerned about price should obtain the actual fee before deciding whether another provider is cheaper.

Customer reviews, testimonials and case studies
The homepage is a provider-controlled source. Read its descriptions as Seneca’s own account of its work. This review does not establish an independently sampled customer-satisfaction score, a complaint rate or the outcome of any particular client engagement.
Read the Seneca source discussed here. Check the identity of the business and the service mentioned before relying on a review. A dated comment about another product, location or tax service can answer a different question from the one you are researching.
Stratum is a competing cost segregation provider and publishes this commercial editorial assessment. We have not commissioned a study from Seneca for this article, interviewed its clients or tested its report. We do not assign stars or reproduce a platform rating as our own score. Use the source links and a written proposal to check the points that matter to your property.
What to verify before engaging Seneca
- Does the quoted deadline include owner and CPA draft review?
- Which building areas, improvements and cost periods are covered?
- Who handles a correction raised after the final report?
Bring a specific example to the discussion: an improvement invoice, an existing asset entry or a room that cannot be accessed. Ask how that item will appear in the final report and which professional resolves an unanswered question. A useful answer identifies the document, the responsible person and the next step.
Ask your CPA to review a sample asset schedule before you sign. Record whether the engagement includes study corrections, post-delivery technical questions and any separately priced filing work. Client service, report evidence and tax implementation are related responsibilities, but the proposal should say who handles each one.
Compare fit and fee with Stratum
Stratum charges $1 per square foot, with a $2,000 minimum per property. That formula establishes our study fee; it does not establish that Stratum is cheaper than Seneca for every building. Compare the same cost periods, inspection responsibilities and deliverables in both proposals.
Review Seneca pricing and the quote checklist, then use the alternatives guide if your required scope differs. The direct comparison explains the two-provider decision; this editorial review focuses on the evidence behind the service descriptions and customer-feedback sources.
