Performance bonds are issued to one party of a contract as a guarantee against the failure of the other party to meet obligations specified in the contract specifications. It is also referred to as a contract bond. A performance bond is usually provided by an insurance company to make sure a contract or completes their contractual obligations.

Payment Bonds

Payment Bonds, often referred to as labor and materials payment bonds, provide a guarantee to the Project Owner or General Contract or that all bills will be paid for labor and materials under the contract.
