What info do I need before I get Commercial insurance?
Q. I'm buying a 2 story building thats zoned for warehouse/storage. Its empty now and I want to rent out space for art studios, upstairs and maybe an arcade downstairs. The sale price of the building is 130,000. What type of insurance is best and aprox how much it costs? Any advice would be great.
Asked by Tom C - Wed Sep 17 14:15:11 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It would be a real estate lessors risk policy. Most companies dont insure vacant buildings, so youd probably have to get it once you have tenants there, or at least an agreement showing that you will be getting tenats. You need to give property information: year built of warehouse, square footage, # of stories, alarm?, sprinkler?, roof type, garage/parking style, type of tenants, estimated annual income/rents collected, corporation/individual business? building updates? If you are closing escrow, you can have the insurance company bill the escrow for the premium for the first year.

Would a storage warehouse ?
Q. My band and I are wondering about using a giant 1000+ square foot storage warehouse for practice and living if necessary and I was wondering if most places would be opposed or if there is a specific law that keeps renters from living inside the warehouses. If there's electricity (i.e. if the warehouse was used as a wood shop and then possibly having plumbing) then it shouldn't be a problem for the person living there.

A. We have places here in town for band/ musicians/artist who live in warehouses.hard to come by here in town now days.. Just check around and find locations you want and make the calls. Many have bathrooms already you may have to install a shower of some sorts. Big spaces can mean big heating bills. Insulation is generally a "must do" as it helps with temperature control and sound proofing between floors. The Crawford's warehouse is insulated and they have worked out, through trial and error, the most cost-effective way of keeping warm. The conservatory/pool area is closed off and gas heaters and an open fire are used for heating. Rugs have been used on the polished floorboards to create warmth. Rugs also help to keep noise levels down.

Is it harmful to breathe in dust all day?
Q. I work in a cold storage warehouse (50 degrees F) and it's very dusty in there. When we blow our noses, it's a bit black. Sorry if that grosses you out. Anyway there's no asbestos or chemicals, except for dry ice. It's just thousand and thousands of chocolate boxes, pallets, and insulated boxes for shipping. So is it harmful? Thanks for the help so far, guys! It's definitely not the healthiest place in the world. No windows, no sunlight, no air purifiers... Just us, the boxes, and a heck of a lot of cold air coming from the fans.

A. Yes, it can be very harmful. If nothing else, you are setting yourself up for a dust mite allergy and taxing your immune system everyday you are at work. Breathing in dust and whatever else may be contained in the boxes and pallets could lead to a lifetime of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Expelling black goop from your nose is your body's way of saying it is time for you to look for a new job.

Asked by Megan - Mon Feb 22 15:10:05 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The cold air will enter as fast as the warm air is allowed to leave. Cold air is relatively heavy and dense, and when you open a door you basically create a cold front that begins at the door and then moves inside along the surface of the floor. It'll move even faster if there is a breeze driving it along as well as the cold airs own weight. I don't offhand know how to compute the volume of cold air that is being admitted, but does it really matter? Remember that cold air in means warm air lost and yes, that cold air will have to be warmed. Any chance of installing one of those piston or spring devices that will shut the door automatically?

A. "If" is a very important word here. If he knows. - a property manager says he doesn't. - and the landlord can use that as his defense. Originally both the maintenance and property manager told you there were leaks and now they were fixed and no further problems. Did some other maintenance man tell you something different? And his interest would be? Insurance is something you have to get. What happens if the building burns down? You are screwed. Can't help you with the medical. That is a different problem totally unrelated. Don't like the building, too costly for insurance? Get out. You still need insurance no matter WHAT building you go into. That is the cost of having a business.

A. Mathematically u need 2.21 trucks consider that u have 1 lift truck. This lift truck takes 3.75 mins to transport 3 pallets. so for 850 pallets it takes 17.7 hrs. But we need to transport them in 8 hrs. 1 truck can transport 850 pallets in 17.7 hrs. so it takes 2.21 trucks to transport 850 pallets in 8 hrs... Cross check number of pallets to be transported - 850 we have 2.21 trucks pallets per load = 3 number of transports in 8 hrs time = 128 (Total mins/mins per transport (3.75)) now 2.21*3*128 = 848.64 pallets This 2.21 comes on the assumption that the trucks do not come back ie they run one way only. If they do round trips it would be 4.42 trucks

A. Jamie, What are you doing taking some kind of marketing course and looking for me to do all your work? First of all I will assume when you are talking terms you mean the normal 2/10 net 30. This means a 2% ddiscount if you pay the invoice within 10 days. Your 2 tenths and 5 tenths are not terms I am familiar with. So 150 locks @ $10 each is $1,500 plus $5,000 for the security system is $6,500 total. 2% is $130. So if the payment is made in within 10 days of the invoice date the net amount due is $6,370. If made in 25 days $6,500. If you mean by 5 tenths the normal 5%, then the discount is $250 on the security system and $30 on the locks for a total of $280 if paid within 10 days.

A. Since X and Y are stored together, the storage requirement for these two items has the same distribution as X+Y X and Y have a Poisson distribution with parameters 20 and 10. It is a property of the Poisson distribution that if two variables X and Y have a parameter of lambdaX and lambdaY, then X+Y has a Poisson distribution with a parameter of lambdaX+lambdaY Hence, the storage requirement C1 has a Poisson distribution with a parameter of 20+10=30. Note that C1 and C2 have the same parameter, 30. in question a), you need to determine N1 and N2 that give you an operational service level of 0.95. What you actually need is: P(C1 N1 AND C2 N2) > 0.95 You experience a shortage if either C1>N1 or C2>N2. P(C1 N1 AND C2 N2) = P(C1 N1)P(C2 N2)… [cont.]
