Spanish term

CTTE, CTDO

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Insurance insurance
I know this is Continente y Contenido, i.e., Premises and Contents (insurance). I am not too happy with Premises either, because in the context it could be a home, but it is the best I can think of. What I need, however, is the accepted abbreviations, as these terms have to go into cells in an Excel file with a limited number of characters. Any bright ideas?

I should have specified Thanks Nikki, when mentioned together I think B&C would be a good term. However, they are in separate cells. I think BLDG would do for CTTE, how about CTDO (for obvious reasons, I am not going to put CNTS) (BTW, found yr urbanismos glossary yestrday, very helpful :o) )

Out of interest, I\'ve found this for P&C:

Property and casualty (P&C) is the term commonly used to describe insurance designed to protect an individual from loss or damage to the physical assets he or she owns. For example, a fire may seriously damage, or even completely destroy a home. Without adequate homeowner\'s insurance to provide the funds to repair or rebuild, such a loss could be a financial disaster. Homeowner\'s policies can also provide protection for the home\'s contents, such as furniture, appliances, and other personal belongings.

Many P&C policies also provide liability protection. For example, the owner of an automobile who causes an accident may be required by a court (be found liable) to pay others for repair of property damage, medical expenses, lost wages or pain and suffering. The dollar amounts of such court decisions can be enormous.

isn\'t conts the abbreviation for contents (? - not much good at these things and will that fit?)

Not sure which glossary you\'re referring to, but glad to be of help anyway!
