Explanation of Solution

Names of three major types of construction bonds and their necessity:

Bid bonds:

It is a type of construction bond that safeguards a developer or an owner in a construction bidding process. It provides guarantee to the owner by a contractor to ensure if the contractor fails to honor the terms of the bid, the owner will be compensated.

Performance bonds:

A bond that is given to a contractor to guarantee the owner that the assigned work will be completed as per the requirements of owner with project specifications is a performance bond.

Payment bonds:

It is a surety bond that guarantees payments to subcontractors and material suppliers on the project that was bonded.

Three factors that affect the bonding capacity are as follows:

  • Status of costs
  • Payments
  • Disputes related to uncompleted work
