[WSBARP] Construction Contract Question

[Gabriel Dietz]

Good Morning Listmates,


This is a somewhat new situation to me but may be routine practice for some
of you. Potential client, a single family residence owner, signed a cost
plus construction contract for a contractor to do a relatively small job.
The contract had an estimated price written in. Contractor's invoice was
five times the estimate. During the job there were some discussions between
contractor and PC about change in means but never any discussions about an
increase in price. What defenses, if any, does PC have?

Thank you in advance,
