Home Work Assignment #2
Chapter 2 & 4
Due 4/30 FIRST OF CLASS
1. An Owner contracted with a General Contractor to renovate the first floor of his three-story
building. Half way through construction the Owner asks the Contractor that if he would remove
the carpet of the second floor at no additional cost during the removal of the carpet of the first
floor then the Owner would offer to allow the Contractor the opportunity to provide a cost for
the second-floor remodel without a second bidder. What should he do?
2. You are awarded a contract to remodel a space including the replacement of all the doors with
new. The existing doors are all painted wood doors. The plans call for all the doors to be
replaced with wood doors. During the submittal process the Architect rejects your door
submittals and says that the doors are not to be painted but should have wood veneer and be
lightly stained. The cost from your door subcontractor to make this change is $25,000. Both
the Architect and Owner tell you they will not pay for this because you, the contractor, never
stated in your offer that the door replacement would be “paint grade”. What should you do?
3. You are contracted to build 8-foot high block wall 100 feet long in the location identified on the
plans. While digging the footing the Owner comes by and asks if you could extend the wall
another 10 feet and asks you approximately how much it will cost. You give him an estimate.
He says go ahead. But later in the Owner decides he does not wish to spend the extra money
but forgets to tell you. After you build the wall with the extra 10 feet you ask for a change
order. The Owner refuses saying he never actually signed a change order from you. Do you
have a legal right to demand payment?
