Overview

Slow underwriting and quoting can put you at a competitive disadvantage. The reliable analytics in Verisk’s Building Fundamentals provide property information from tax assessor and modeled data with a 100 percent fill rate for five primary property characteristics: ISO construction class, square footage, number of stories, year built, and primary building use (Commercial Statistical Plan code). Also included—from LOCATION’s suite of solutions—are ISO Public Protection Classification (PPC™), territory, crime, wind, and Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS®).

The logic behind the 100 percent fill rate for the five core property elements is powered through advanced modeling by ISO analytics from a foundation of 50-plus years of industry experience and extensive site-verified data.
