Touchstone construction and occupancy class codes
The construction and occupancy class codes that you assign to each exposure have an impact on Touchstone analysis results. It is important to understand the two categories of codes, the construction and occupancy classes that Touchstone supports.
Touchstone construction class codes
Construction class codes help to determine the vulnerability of your risks to various perils. Touchstone provides a set of construction class codes that you use to describe the building material and/or type of construction used in your risks. Support for construction classes varies by country/region.
Construction class codes
Touchstone applies non-engineered building damage distributions to the construction classes listed in this topic, regardless of occupancy class.
