Construction Bond

What are the types of construction bonds?

Bid Bond - A bid bond is a guarantee that assures the project owner you are capable of undertaking the job after selection in the bidding process. The project owner is more than comfortable to award the project based on the presence of a bid bond knowing fully well that they will collect compensation from the construction bond. 

Performance - A performance bond protects the owner of the involved contractor fails to perform, or protects the owner from losses emanating from poor performance, or is unable to deliver the work as obligated in the contract. Moreover, in other circumstances, the contractor may declare himself bankrupt so the surety is responsible for compensating the owner for any loss incurred. 

Payment - A payment bond is a three-way contract that brings together the owner, the involved contractor and the surety firm into an agreement that all subcontractors, material suppliers, and laborers will be paid making the project lien free. This bond is rare and it's billed at 50 percent of the regular premium. 

Maintenance - These types of construction bonds provide a warranty after project completion in cases of defective materials, poor artistry, and just like warranties, it's time bound. If a project is found to be defective within the prescribed period, the owner receives the bond amount for repairs or replacement of defective parts.

Subdivision - Subdivision bonds are acquired for new projects by some local governments when a contractor starts working on a subdivision of a building project. It ensures that the contractor will complete structures within the subdivisions like electrical upgrades, sidewalks maintenance, drain water systems, sewer systems according to specifications and within the stated timeline. Failure on the part of a contractor triggers the bond payment to complete the remaining works. 

Site improvement - Site improvement bonds are acquired by contractors when undertaking improvement on a current site rather than on a new building. The bond will compensate victims of fraud on the part of the contractor. It shares similarities to subdivision bond, but subdivision bonds are for new buildings. 

Contractor license (CLB) - CLB or permit bonds are classified as construction surety bonds that serve the purpose of all parties involved in a contractor project. This bond assists all parties involved in the case of an unethical business decision. It protects the many parties, including the owner/investors of a project and the bond issuing firm. A contractor must purchase a contractor license bond to qualify for the contractor licenses at the city, county and state level. If one of the parties is affected by the wrong decisions, they can file against the bond for financial compensation. 

Supplier - The supply bond guarantees the supplier will be able to meet his obligation of supplying materials as prescribed in the purchase orders. If a supplier reneges the agreement, then the Bond is released to compensate the purchaser for the losses incurred. We can write all types of construction bonds.
