Construction bonds can help to control risk with your project.
The two most common bonds one will encounter in construction are payment and performance bonds. Bonds are essentially a form of suretyship. While suretyship is distinguishable from insurance, it is a contractual relationship, in the form of a bond, whereby one person agrees to answer for the debt, default or other failure to perform an obligation of another. In the construction context, the suretyship relationship usually consists of a contractor as the principal, the owner of the project as the obligee, and the entity issuing the bond (typically, an insurance company) acting as the surety on behalf of the principal. But the identities of the parties may vary.
