Your broker can help you understand the extent of coverage under your association's master insurance policy. There is no standard among insurance vendors.

Usually, 'building property' includes all of the building(s) owned by the association as common area/ limited common area -- boundary definitions are included in your governing documents. You may or may not have coverage over the foundation, and/or the landscape assets.
