1Opinion of the Court
*190Chief Justice TOAL.
The issuer of a homebuilder’s commercial general liability policy sought a declaratory judgment to determine whether the policy covered a homeowner’s claim for damages caused by the negligence of a construction subcontractor. The trial court determined that the homeowner’s claim fell within the policy’s coverage and this appeal followed. We certified the case pursuant to Rule 204(b), SCACR, and affirmed the trial court’s decision. We now withdraw our prior opinion and substitute it with this opinion. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
