Our offering

Cover includes

With PCBS’s support, contractors can focus on completing their projects with confidence, knowing that there are financial protections in place to cover various aspects of the construction process.

Bid bonds and letters of intent

These are assurances that a contractor will follow through on their bid or proposal if selected for a project. It shows commitment and reliability.

Performance guarantees/bonds

These guarantee that the contractor will complete the project according to the agreed terms and conditions. If they fail to do so, the bond provides financial protection to the project owner.

Retention money guarantees/bonds

Instead of holding back a portion of the payment as security, these bonds provide a guarantee that funds will be available if needed for any issues that arise during the project's completion.

Advance payment guarantees/bonds

These cover the advance payments made to contractors before the work begins, ensuring that the money will be used appropriately for the project.

Materials off-site bonds

These protect against any issues with materials stored off-site before being used in the project, ensuring they are safeguarded.

Supplier suretyships

These guarantee that suppliers will deliver the required materials or services as agreed, providing financial security if there are any issues with the supply chain.
