A homeowner met with a number of general contractors regarding significant renovations on his home.  After a couple of successful meetings with one particular contractor, the contractor sent a letter to the homeowner stating that the contractor would perform the renovation work for $10,000.  The homeowner responded with a letter stating that he would “only pay $8,500 and not more.”  Upon receiving the homeowner’s letter, the contractor immediately commenced preparations for the renovation work, including beginning to acquire the materials necessary to complete the renovation.  One week after beginning work on the homeowner’s home, the contractor realized the renovation would cost $1,600 more than he anticipated due to the homeowner’s very particular aesthetic requirements.  After being informed of the higher cost, the homeowner refused to pay the contractor any amount over $8,500.  The contractor promptly discontinued working on the renovation.  The homeowner subsequently brought a breach of contract action against the contractor, seeking damages.    Which party will prevail?

Robertson Engineering Company is converting to Electronic Data Processing (EDP) equipment for use in inventory control, accounting, and other departmental operations.  The coordination of the installation phase has been assigned to you.  The installation contractor is the Milward Corporation of Melbourne, Florida. The EDP equipment is scheduled to be fully installed and ready for handover by the contractor on the last working day of this month (pick a date).  The changeover date from manual accounting and inventory control to the EDP system has been set for the last working day of next month (pick a date). You already know that the contractor will not meet the target date.  Today the contractor is 11 working days behind schedule because of the following. There has been a 10-day delay in the delivery of some major components for the system (they were shipped to Miami, Florida by mistake). The main control panel was damaged in transit; the contractor wasted five days trying to repair it. A replacement ordered by Fax five days ago is due at Robertson Engineering one week from today (pick a date). The contractor’s crew normally has four people and a supervisor. Unfortunately, one person quit four days ago—pick a date (a replacement being flown in from Atlanta is due here tomorrow), and another is sick (absent six days to date but due back in about a week—pick a date). Write a progress memo report to George Dunn, Robertson Engineering’s Comptroller.  Tell him what the contractor has completed and advise him of the problems and delays.  Forecast a new installation and handover date and a revised system changeover date (make-up specific dates).
