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.
