Knowing what a performance bond is can benefit contractors and owners of projects by managing risk, below are the key details:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Contractor Obtains a Bond<\/strong>: Contractor applies for a performance bond from a surety provider prior to the project starting. Before giving the contractor the bond, the surety assesses the contractor&#8217;s experience and competence to carry out the project.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bond is Submitted<\/strong>: After it is approved, the contractor deposits the bond with the project owner as a security and assurance that he will meet the contractual obligations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Project Execution<\/strong>: Contractor works on a project as per specification, schedule, budget and contractual terms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contractor Default (If Applicable)<\/strong>: If, for any reason, the contractor does not complete the project, or fails to meet contractual requirements, or withdraws from the project, the project owner may claim against the performance bond.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Surety Response<\/strong>: Surety company investigates the claim and decides what to do.
