What Are Contract Surety Bonds?

Contract surety bonds, aka construction bonds, are a guarantee required for construction projects. Issuance of the bond ensures all parties adhere to the contract terms. Three parties must sign the agreement: the obligee (the project owner), the principal (contractor), and the surety (insurer).

Types of Construction Bonds

A construction bond shows good faith to subcontractors, laborers, and suppliers handling the job. All public or federal contract jobs require surety bonds. And many private contracts also use them.

Several types of construction bonds exist, including:

• Bid bonds guarantee the contractor who wins the bid will also sign a project contract.
• Performance bonds ensure the contractor completes the projection according to the agreed-upon specifications.
• Payment bonds promise the contractor will pay all subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors for services.
• Maintenance bonds make sure contractors properly maintain the worksite for a set timeframe.
• Supply bonds guarantee the contractor will provide all materials and supplies as stated in the contract terms.
