A Different Kind of Performance Bond

The Expedited Dispute Resolution (EDR) Bond minimizes project disruption and avoids costly delays by allowing work to continue during a dispute. Our streamlined claims handling and adjudication process resolves disputes within 45 days, and offers up to a 100% performance guarantee. An EDR bond is available for projects in the U.S. and Canada.

We help you manage risk with contractor selection, project prequalification and ongoing monitoring. When problems do arise on a construction site, quick resolution can save the schedule, the budget and your reputation. With Travelers EDR Performance Bond, you can be confident your construction project will stay on track.
