A contractor commenced a construction lien action seeking payment for renovation and rehabilitation work performed on a 14‑unit residential building.
The owners disputed entitlement to several claimed extras and asserted set‑offs for incomplete and deficient work.
The court interpreted the contract documents collectively, finding certain alleged extras fell within the original contractual scope while others were compensable, including electrical work allowed on a quantum meruit basis and limited delay costs.
The court held the owners wrongfully terminated the contract prior to completion.
Damages were calculated as the contract price plus allowable extras, less completion costs and proven deficiencies, resulting in judgment for the contractor.
