Homeowners ordered to pay builder $558,095 for unpaid construction work; counterclaims for deficiencies and municipal negligence dismissed.
The builder sued the homeowners for unpaid amounts on a residential construction project.
The homeowners counterclaimed for construction deficiencies and incomplete work, and also sued the municipality for negligent building inspection.
The court found that the parties had an oral contract and that the builder did not breach it by leaving the project when the homeowners stopped paying.
The court dismissed the homeowners' claims for major structural deficiencies, finding the expert evidence of the builder more reliable.
The court also dismissed the negligence claim against the municipality, finding it met the standard of reasonable care.
The homeowners were ordered to pay the builder $558,095.52 for the unpaid balance of the contract and extras, less credits for incomplete work.
