The infographic titled "Who Requires Contract Surety Bonds?" by Suretegrity outlines the importance of these bonds for key stakeholders in the construction industry. Contract surety bonds play a critical role in ensuring project success and financial security for all parties involved. Project owners, or obligees, rely on these bonds to guarantee that contractors will meet their contractual obligations, ensuring the timely and proper completion of projects.

Contractors, or principals, use surety bonds to demonstrate their credibility and commitment to adhering to contract terms, often a prerequisite for securing new projects. Subcontractors and suppliers also benefit from contract surety bonds, particularly payment bonds, which ensure they are compensated for their services and materials even if the primary contractor defaults. Additionally, lenders and financial institutions involved in funding construction projects require surety bonds to mitigate risks and safeguard their investments in case of contractor non-performance.

The infographic highlights the various types of contract surety bonds, such as bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds, emphasizing their role in maintaining trust, financial stability, and accountability within the construction sector.
