The plaintiffs moved for an order refusing confirmation of an Associate Justice's report concerning a fixed-price construction contract dispute.
The plaintiffs challenged findings related to extra costs, admissions in a Scott Schedule, and deficiencies/uncompleted work.
The court largely upheld the Associate Justice's findings, affirming the fixed-price nature of the contract and the requirement for written authorization for extras.
However, the court found that the Associate Justice overlooked a $4,500 concession by the defendants in the Scott Schedule regarding drywall charges, granting the plaintiffs this additional credit.
The court also upheld the original costs award from the Associate Justice's report and awarded the defendants $4,000 in costs for the current motion, reflecting their overall success.
