CSLB classification C-8

Concrete Contractor Bond

Every C-8 concrete contractor in California carries the same $25,000 license bond. Curb, gutter, sidewalk, and site flatwork in the public right-of-way adds encroachment and improvement bonds. We place them all, fast.

Key facts

Statute
BPC §7071.6

Every classification carries the same license bond. The premium is a percentage of it, set by underwriting, not what you pay in full.

Bonds a concrete contractor needs

The license bond is the same for concrete contractors as everyone else. Concrete work is permit-bond heavy: pouring curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and driveway approaches in the public right-of-way commonly requires an encroachment or street-improvement bond from the agency, and public and development flatwork is bonded with performance and payment bonds.
