The Specific Commercial Property Evaluation
Schedule (SCPES) classifies buildings into
six categories: Fire Resistive; Modified
Fire Resistive; Masonry Noncombustible;
Noncombustible; Jointed Masonry; and Frame.
This Bulletin describes what effect exterior
wall construction or column protection has
on insurance rates or loss costs. |
|
Bulletin #6 |
INSURANCE BULLETIN #6
This Bulletin outlines how flame spread of
insulation and/or interior finishes affect
fire insurance rates or loss costs.
Hypothetical comparison information is
provided, along with recommendations on
insulation types and interior finishes one
might consider. |
|
Bulletin #7 |
INSURANCE BULLETIN #7
Fire insurance rates or loss costs are
predicated primarily on two things -- the
building construction and its occupancy
rate. This Bulletin asks and answers the
question: What Effect Does Occupancy Have on
Rate or Loss Cost? |
|
Bulletin #8 |
INSURANCE BULLETIN #8
If a building is isolated with no
surrounding structures, and it burns, it is
normal to assume that the fire started in
that building. If there are neighboring
structures and they catch fire, this fire
may spread. This Bulletin discusses the
building owner’s exposure in the event of a
fire in an adjacent building, and provides
Exposure Hazard Charge information. |
|
Bulletin #9 |
INSURANCE BULLETIN #9
Public protection classifications are
established by rating authorities. This

The viability, costs and other variables
associated with installing a sprinkler
system are discussed in Bulletin #11. In
particular, insurance cost savings are
addressed as they pertain to having a fully-
functional sprinkler system installed in a
given building. Comparative information
between Sprinklered and Non-Sprinklered
buildings is provided. |
|
Bulletin #11 |
INSURANCE BULLETIN #11
Contents of a building are normally more
readily damaged by fire than the building
infrastructure itself. It follows, then,
that the insurance rates for contents are
quite often higher than those for the
building itself. Find out what this means --
and how it might affect your rates or loss
costs -- in this Bulletin. |
|
Bulletin #12 |
INSURANCE BULLETIN #12
The facts on insuring a metal building
versus other different materials of

higher insurance costs may have on a sale
are discussed, along with ways to have your
building properly evaluated. |
|
Bulletin #13 |
INSURANCE BULLETIN #13
Wind uplift is a major factor in the roofing
and construction industries. Considered a
Group II cause of loss, wind uplift is rated
alongside damage from hail, smoke, riot or
civil unrest, aircraft or vehicles, sinkhole
and volcanic action. Find out how to achieve
the optimum wind uplift rating for your
metal building in this Bulletin. |
|
Bulletin #14 |
INSURANCE BULLETIN #14
Earthquake rates or loss costs are discussed
in this Bulletin -- and metal buildings are
known for outperforming competing structures

which may be useful in selling a metal
structure in a region susceptible to
earthquake activity. |
