A demolition contractor sought partial summary judgment in a construction lien action for unpaid invoices relating to demolition services, crushed concrete, and other project work.
The defendants opposed the motion and advanced set‑off claims alleging defective granular material and erroneous payment for environmental soil remediation.
The court applied the summary judgment framework from Hryniak v. Mauldin and concluded there was no genuine issue requiring trial regarding most of the indebtedness.
The evidence established that the crushed concrete met contractual specifications and that soil remediation constituted agreed extras billed at unit rates rather than part of the lump sum contract.
The set‑off claims lacked merit and partial summary judgment was granted for the majority of the amount claimed.
