Functions of Contractor Surety Bonds

Contractor surety bonds serve several critical functions, including:

  • Ensuring the bonded project is completed as per the contract terms and agreed price
  • Guaranteeing payment to laborers, suppliers, and subcontractors even if the contractor defaults, which can lead to reduced costs and faster deliveries
  • Facilitating a smooth transition from construction to permanent financing by removing liens
  • Minimizing the risk of fund diversion by the contractor
  • Providing a channel for owners to address complaints and grievances through the surety
  • Potentially lowering construction costs by enabling competitive bids

When Do You Need Surety Bonds?

Surety bonds are often required for contractors working on government projects or for individuals and companies licensed by government entities. Even if not mandatory, surety bonds are beneficial when a contract demands performance guarantees, as they offer compensation to obligees if principals fail to meet their obligations. However, they are unnecessary if potential damages are minimal.
