How Contractor Prequalification Works
Our proprietary Zip Score option provides an immediate bond capacity indication for contractor applicants in minutes. Better yet, you can get your bond capacity indication WITHOUT providing your social security number! Here’s how it works.
Bid Bonds and Performance Bonds
As contractors, you need bonds for specific projects. Some projects may require a bid bond before submitting your bid. If awarded the job, you may also need to provide a performance bond and payment bond.
These bonds, also called contract bonds or construction bonds, are types of surety bonds that ensure work is completed within the contract specifications and guarantee payment to all subcontractors and suppliers throughout a project.
These bonds act similarly to insurance and are in place to protect project owners from having potential liens placed against them.
