Contractors may need commercial property coverage for offices, shops, yards, warehouses, materials, tools, and business personal property. The appropriate structure depends on ownership, leases, premises use, values, security, and underwriting.

Coordinate property with contractors' equipment, Commercial Auto, and General Liability coverage reviews.

Direct answer

Commercial Property coverage should be reviewed for contractor-owned buildings, offices, shops, warehouses, inventory, tools, tenant improvements, and business personal property. Valuation, occupancy, construction, protection systems, storage, deductible, business income, and policy exclusions determine the appropriate review.

Common questions

What property should a contractor list?

List owned or leased buildings, tenant improvements, office contents, tools and equipment kept at the premises, inventory, materials, computers, signage, and other business personal property with values and locations when requested.

Does commercial property cover equipment at a job site?

Do not assume it does. Property kept or used away from the scheduled premises may require contractors' equipment, inland marine, builders risk, or another form depending on the item and policy terms.

What is business income coverage intended to address?

Business income terms may address eligible loss of income or continuing expenses after a covered property loss, subject to the policy's trigger, period, limits, exclusions, and documentation requirements.
