Compliance stack

The construction and contracting compliance stack

Contract surety bonds and the insurance program contractors carry on public and private work.

Contractors run two compliance tracks side by side: the surety bonds that contracts and public owners require to bid and build, and the insurance program that covers crews, sites, and equipment. Here is how they pair on a typical job.

Requirements vary by state and activity. The license and bond pieces apply where your activity and jurisdiction require them.
