Need more than three rows?

Collect every location at renewal.

The free template is limited to three rows so you can try the workflow. Create your own form to collect a client's full schedule, or one form per client you can send at every renewal.

Create your own form

Carrier-ready columns

The details carriers ask for on every SOV, in one consistent layout.

Checked as they type

Values with $ or M, decades for years and freehand construction types are flagged.

Your own fields

Add roof year, alarms, flood zone or anything your markets ask for.

Up to 1,000 rows

Room for a portfolio, a franchise group or a property manager's whole book.

How it works

From a client's spreadsheet to a submission in three steps.

01

Collect

Send the form to the client, or import last year's schedule for them to update.

02

Complete

One building per row. Missing values, odd years and freehand construction types are highlighted.

03

Download and submit

Download the CSV and add it to the submission, or paste it into the carrier's own SOV sheet.

Why use a form?

Underwriters send back what they can't rate.

A statement of values comes back with a building value of "1.2M", a year built of "1990s", "brick" as the construction type and a ZIP code missing its leading zero. Each one is a question back to the client before the account can be quoted.

A form asks for each detail in the form underwriters rate on, and flags anything else while the client is still filling it in.

Values written as text

1.2M, $1,250,000 or approx 500k: values are plain numbers, so a carrier's sheet adds them up.

Construction typed freehand

Chosen from ISO's six classes, so brick becomes Joisted Masonry or Masonry Non-Combustible, not a guess.

Years as decades

Year built takes four digits between 1800 and next year, so 1990s or c. 1985 is flagged.

What goes in a statement of values

A statement of values (SOV) is the schedule of every building a commercial property policy covers, with the values to insure it for. Carriers rate the account from it, so brokers ask for it with every new submission and again at each renewal. Each row is one building, numbered by location and by building within the location, with its full address.

Underwriters rate property on four things above all: what the building is used for (occupancy), how it's built (construction), how it's protected (sprinklers and alarms) and where it is (the address and ZIP code). Construction is described with ISO's six classes: Frame, Joisted Masonry, Non-Combustible, Masonry Non-Combustible, Modified Fire Resistive and Fire Resistive, from most to least combustible.

Values are usually replacement cost: what it would cost to rebuild the building and replace its contents today, not what was paid for them. Building value, business personal property (contents) and business income are listed separately, and their total is the location's total insured value. Write them as plain numbers so the carrier's spreadsheet can add them up.

Keep location and building numbers the same from year to year, so the carrier can match each building to last year's, and update year built, roof and protection details as they change. A schedule with one building per row, in the same columns every renewal, saves a round of questions on every account.

Import Builder is an independent product. The template follows the details carriers commonly ask for on a statement of values, with the six ISO construction classes, and isn't any carrier's own form. ISO is a trademark of Insurance Services Office, Inc., a Verisk company.
