In the construction industry, the term "conditional" typically refers to a state or situation where certain obligations, requirements, or criteria must be met for a particular outcome or transaction to occur. This term is often used in contracts or agreements. For instance, a construction project could be conditional upon gaining necessary building permits or approvals, meeting safety standards, or obtaining adequate funding. The failure to fulfill these conditions could suspend or terminate the project.

A bond claim in the construction industry, also known as a construction bond claim, is a demand for payment by a subcontractor, supplier, or laborer who has not received due compensation for completed work on a construction project. This is often linked to a surety bond, which is a type of construction bond that works to ensure that subcontractors and suppliers get paid. This claim aims to reduce financial risks, securing parties involved against potential contract defaults or failures. For example, if a general contractor fails to pay a subcontractor for their provided services, the subcontractor can file a bond claim against the contractor's surety bond to recover their funds. It is a legal recourse that assures fair payment and ethical business practices within construction projects.

Long-term assets, also known as noncurrent assets, are significant for the construction industry because they represent valuable resources that companies expect to benefit from over a future period exceeding one year. In the context of the construction sector, long-term assets can be physical properties like buildings, land, heavy machinery, and equipment used for construction work. They also involve intangible assets such as patents, trademarks, or contracts that provide long-term value. These assets play a vital role in the industry as they are not intended for immediate sale but are used over time to generate income. Depreciation or amortization is applied to such assets reflecting their usage and wear and tear over time. The accurate recording and appreciation of these assets can significantly impact the financial analysis and planning within the construction industry.
