The Infographic, “Types of Construction Bonds,” explains the different types of bonds used in construction projects across the US. In addition to identifying the different types, the infographic explains their purpose and why they are useful in the construction industry.
Construction Bond is a commonly used name for a type of surety bond that protects the obligee (the project owner) by ensuring the principal (the contractor) fulfills the terms of the contract. If the principal does not fulfill their obligations, the surety company will compensate the obligee according to the terms of the surety bond.
This Infographic categorizes the different types of construction Bonds into 3 types. The first type is bid bonds, which protects the obligee if the principal fails to honor their bid. The second type is performance bonds, which protect the obligee related to the terms of the project. The third type is payment bonds, which guarantee all payments to sub-contractors involved in a project. To learn more about construction bonds, refer to the infographic below.
