The most expensive bond release delays often come from a documentation gap, not a construction problem. Third-party geotechnical inspections that weren't captured during the build have to be recreated after the fact, and that costs time and money.

Mark Wells explains what causes this specific delay and how to avoid it during development. Short video, worth a watch. 🎥

Finished construction doesn’t always mean your bond is ready for release. Inspections, punch-list items, as-built drawings, and utility sign-offs can extend closeout when they aren’t coordinated and completed on time.

Bond release has documentation requirements best captured during construction. What gets missed has to be satisfied later, but at a higher cost.
