Understanding Construction & Development Bonds

A construction & development bond, also called a contract bond or performance bond, is a type of surety bond, a legally binding contract that guarantees a person or business will fulfill an obligation for someone else. In the case of a construction & development bond, the insurance company is making a guarantee to a client or buyer that a project will be successfully completed by a contractor.

How do Construction & Development Bonds Work?

Let’s say a contractor is about to begin construction on a new office building for a client. The client tells the contractor that they require a construction & development bond, so the contractor purchases a bond from an insurance company. If for any reason the project is not completed, or there is any breach in the contract between the contractor and the client, the client can submit a claim, which the insurance company will investigate. If the claim is valid, the insurance company will pay the client for their losses up to the amount of the bond, and the contractor will then pay back the insurance company. A construction & development bond essentially works as insurance for the client, as well as credit for the contractor.
