(GI) Lunchtime Technical Briefing - Modern building construction and how to classify it for pricing.

Kindly Sponsored by: Abaco Insurance Brokers

Insurers and brokers have for many years used different classifications for building construction which takes into account how combustible it may be. This session will run through the classifications using practical examples on a step by step basis. Guidance should allow brokers particularly to align with this classification system if they wish.

Learning Objectives:

• The brief history of where these classifications came from.

• The step by step process to validate the classification with practical examples.

• To see typical classifications on regularly seen buildings.

• Some of the nuances that brokers and underwriters may see.

• Understand some of the materials used in buildings that cause different classifications to occur.
