The plaintiff architect brought a construction lien action for unpaid fees against the defendant developer of a high-rise condominium.
The developer counterclaimed for delay and impact damages, alleging the architect failed to coordinate consultant drawings and made design errors.
The court found the architect's coordination duty was limited to cooperating with other consultants, not managing them.
The architect met the professional standard of care and validly suspended services for non-payment.
The court awarded the architect $55,906.54 for agreed base services but dismissed claims for unapproved extras.
The developer's counterclaim was dismissed entirely.
