Payment Bond

You never know what will happen when you begin a new project, which is why many construction projects require owners and contractors to sign a Payment Bond. If you're a contractor or a project owner who wants to make sure everyone gets paid, a Payment Bond is your tool.

You may use the Payment Bond document if:

• You own a surety company.
• You're a project owner and want to make sure contractors and suppliers get paid.
• You're a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier starting a new project.

A performance bond ensures that a contractor successfully completes a project. It is issued by a bonding company or bank and is used to protect the owner when the terms of a contract aren't successfully executed. If contractual obligations are not met, the surety company will pay the claim.

A payment bond is usually issued alongside a performance bond and guarantees that laborers, material suppliers, and contractors are paid according to the terms of the contract.

Payment and performance bonds are issued by a surety bonds company. Surety issuers can be bond producers, general insurance companies, and speciality surety companies.

A construction bond ensures that any construction work being done is in accordance with the terms of the agreement. They also protect the project owner and contractor(s) against non-payment and project incompletion.

The parties to a construction bond are typically the project owner, surety company, and contractor(s).

Bonding ensures that a customer is protected if anything goes wrong. In the event that the customer faces a problem, they can file a claim against the company. If the claim is valid, then the bond purchased by the company will cover the cost of the claim.
