Connect coverage to the actual operation
Industrial properties should be evaluated around tenant processes, storage, commodities, fire load, sprinkler design, utilities, loading areas, vacancy, environmental conditions, and the concentration of building and rental-income values.
Risks to review
- High-piled storage, fire load, and sprinkler adequacy
- Tenant manufacturing, hot work, chemicals, or machinery
- Roof, wind, water, loading, and vehicle impact
- Environmental allegations and prolonged income interruption
Information to prepare
- Tenant operations, commodities, storage heights, and processes
- Construction, square footage, roof, sprinklers, and hydrants
- Building, machinery, landlord-property, and income values
- Inspections, leases, environmental history, and loss runs
Frequently asked questions
Why are tenant commodities and processes important to the landlord policy?
Storage, manufacturing, heat, chemicals, batteries, and other operations can materially change the building's fire and liability exposure.
Does commercial property automatically cover pollution cleanup?
No. Pollution terms and exclusions vary, and environmental coverage may require separate evaluation.
Coverage descriptions are general. Eligibility, availability, limits, deductibles, valuation, exclusions, and policy terms vary by operation and insurance market. Actual policy documents control.
