Performance Bonds

Performance Bonds

Performance bonds guarantee that the contractor will adhere to the terms and conditions of the construction contract and build a project for the contract price. Project owners can be assured that the contractor has been evaluated through underwriting and that all elements are in check for the contractor to be able to meet this obligation.

Some contract surety bond costs are related to a contractor’s qualifications, while others are based on the scope of work or the classification of construction work that is being completed. The contract price is also a factor. Learn more about how the cost of a bond is determined from our Blog.
