Property Building Values define various characteristics about a building. These values are represented in the type Building and is used for calculation peril damages.

Example Query

query {
    property(fsid: $fsid) {
        landuseCodeId
        footprint
        building {
            hasBasement
            units
            stories
            construction {
                material
            }
            roof {
                material
            }
            yearBuilt
            sqft
            replacementCostPerSqft
            buildingOrientation
            windDesignStandard
        }
    }
}

For values that are represented in numeric values (such as landuseCodeId), the lookup table can be queried using the metadataLookup query.

query {
  metadataLookup {
    landUseType {
      databaseId
      name
    }
    buildingRoof {
      databaseId
      name
    }
    buildingConstruction {
      databaseId
      name
    }
  }
}

databaseId correlates with the representation of the item. It's important to note that databaseId is represented as a String, however the actual item ID (such as landuseCodeId) is represented as an Integer.

Building values input received through queries do not mutate default building values for properties. If modifying default building values, you must pass your paramaters to each input request.
