PRESS
RELEASE

Surety bonds provide the most comprehensive risk management tool available to protect construction projects against default and ensure contractual obligations are met. A new economic analysis conducted by leading global consulting firm EY quantifies the benefits surety bonding generates throughout the lifecycle of a portfolio of construction projects — including benefits extending beyond the financial protection surety provides when projects default. SFAA’s Surety Protects campaign aims to communicate the benefits of public sector bonding, as we inform and educate key elected officials and construction leaders about surety’s value.

Public construction projects – from schools to public infrastructure – advance the public good, support local economies and build thriving communities. Surety bonds protect these vital projects; it’s just good public policy.

Report: The Economic Value of Surety Bonds (2022)

An EY study commissioned by SFAA found that construction projects protected by surety bonds enjoy lower rates of contractor default, lower cost of completion in the case of default and are finished faster than non-bonded projects. For the typical portfolio of construction projects, the overall value of surety bonds more than covers their cost.
