Description
Viking Communities, plaintiff below, here appeals a final judgment entered in favor of Star Construction on a counterclaim in a third-party action. Star Construction contracted with Viking to perform certain excavations on Viking's construction project. Payment was based on a unit price for the volume of material excavated. The contract estimated the volume of excavation and established a dollar amount which was not to be exceeded. The contract also provided for progress payments from Viking to Star. Work commenced and problems arose. The subsequent events are disputed, but several facts are apparent. The estimated volume of excavation was too low. Star fell behind schedule in completing the project and Viking withheld a progress payment. Star eventually ceased work altogether and Viking completed the work through another subcontractor. Star filed a complaint seeking recovery on two counts; foreclosure of a mechanic's lien and quantum meruit.
