Benoit Construction Inc. (Benoit) sought damages for breach of contract against Hard at Work Inc. (HAW) concerning framing work and equipment rental for a luxury residential home.
HAW counterclaimed for alleged deficiencies and costs to complete.
The court found that a verbal agreement existed for HAW to reimburse Benoit for telehandler rental fees.
The court determined that HAW's termination of the contract was unjustified, as their allegations of shoddy workmanship and deficiencies were not proven, and Benoit was denied the opportunity to correct any issues.
HAW's counterclaim for costs to correct and complete was dismissed.
Benoit was awarded outstanding invoice amounts and damages for breach of contract.
