Entering a new construction contract comes with a lot of uncertainty and risk. Have you taken the steps necessary to protect your business from any potential financial risks?
An effective way to do this is by getting a surety bond. A surety bond is a three-party agreement between the contractor, the owner, and a surety company, which ensures that the contractor fulfills their obligations. If the contractor fails to meet the terms of the contract, the surety company is responsible for compensating the project owner, which provides a safety net for both parties involved.
If you find yourself in a situation with a problematic owner, document everything and communicate in writing. A paper trail will be a lifesaver if you enter mediation or arbitration.
If a dispute arises, having a surety bond in place can be invaluable. The bond reassures the project owner they will be protected if the contractor fails to fulfill their obligations. For the contractor, it demonstrates financial reliability and commitment to the project, which is beneficial in maintaining a good industry reputation.
