ConsensusDocs Now Offers Its Bond Form Package for Free

ConsensusDocs is now offering its eleven bond forms for free through its Prequalifications & Bond Forms Package.

“Fair bond forms, like those issued by ConsensusDocs, are necessary ingredients in achieving a balanced apportionment of construction risks,” said NASBP CEO Mark McCallum. “Bond forms containing onerous terms subvert the ability of project owners to realize maximum competition for contracts, even precluding small and disadvantaged firms from the ability to seek contract awards. NASBP applauds the decision to make ConsensusDocs bond forms available at no charge, aptly demonstrating ConsensusDocs’ adherence to its mission to improve the industry through dissemination of fair standardized forms.”

The package offers surety professionals these benefits.

To access the package, go to the Quick Purchase tab at www.consensusdocs.org. Following through the purchase process is required but the balance due will be $0.
