Contract (Construction) Bonds

Construction bond is a type of surety bond used by investors in construction projects to protect against disruptions or financial loss due to a contractor’s failure to complete the project or to meet contract specifications.

A construction bond is also called a construction surety bond or a contract bond.

 

Types include:

Bid bond: This bond is necessary to the competitive process bidding. Each contending contractor has to submit a bid bond along with their bids to protect the project owner in the event that a contractor backs out of the contract after winning the bid or fails to provide a performance bid, which is required to start working on the project.

 

Performance bond: A bid bond is replaced by a performance bond when a contractor accepts a bid and proceeds to work on the project. The performance bond protects the owner from financial loss if the contractor’s work is subpar, defective, and not in accordance with the terms and conditions laid out in the agreed contract.

 

Payment bond: This bond, also called a labor and material payment bond, is a guarantee that the winning contractor has the financial means to compensate his or her workers, subcontractors, and suppliers of materials.

World Wide Bonding Agency’s Unlimited Bonding Program

World Wide Bonding Agency’s Unlimited Contract Bonding Program is for contractors that decide they want to expand their businesses. The credit based/Next Step contract bond programs that we provide can only take contractors so far with their bonding needs. To exceed those smaller limits, our Unlimited Bonding Program will allow contractors the ability to increase their single and aggregate bond limits.  It will allow for a reduced bonding rate and provide more surety credit for a total program.  This gives contractors the ability to graduate to the highest level – broadening their ability to bid larger work and take on more work overall.  World Wide Bonding Agency steers the wheel for you, getting involved with your banker and your CPA.  We are one team with one common goal, to grow your business.  World Wide Bonding Agency makes it simple working toward that overall objective – your growth and your success!
