Big Spring, TX 79720
Bond requirements are typically established by a City to protect itself and its citizens. The Contractor Bond is enforced because, unfortunately, it is not uncommon for jobs in the construction industry to be left unfinished or otherwise not meeting the specifications of the contract. This leaves the person who hired the contractor (the customer) short on cash since the services they paid for are incomplete. On top of that, they will need to find someone to complete the job. In these cases, the customer can file a claim on the Contractor Bond to be compensated for the loss, damages, or the cost of hiring another contractor.
For Big Spring contractors, it is important to follow the terms of the contract and the Building Regulations. Failure to do so can lead to a bond claim, which does not alleviate the contractor‘s liability. The contractor at fault will need to pay Jet (as would be the case with any other surety company) back to get the bond back to its full limit.
