Description
Plaintiffs, Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Kalen, sue defendants, Roland Steele, an individual, and Better Built Homes, Inc., a corporation,
housebuilders, alleging in their petition that on October 3, 1957, plaintiffs and defendants entered into a written agreement
by which defendants agreed to build a described home for plaintiffs on plaintiffs' lot for a total construction cost of $15,993.30
plus a contractor's fee of $1,599.93, for a total cost of $17,593.23; that defendants partially performed the work so that
plaintiffs were able to occupy the house but have wrongfully refused to complete many listed items of work covered by the
contract. Additionally, plaintiffs' petition states that although plaintiffs have paid defendants all that is owed them under
the contract, defendants have presented bills to plaintiffs as construction costs of the house totaling $23,208.91; that of
this sum $654.49 was for authorized extras over and above the original contract price of $15,993.30, leaving a balance of
$6,561.12 in cost of construction above the original contract price; that the bills for this $6,561.12 for labor and materials
remain unpaid, and that mechanics' liens therefor have been filed. Plaintiffs seek damages for these matters in the sum of
$7,161.12. In their answer defendants denied all this and counterclaimed for $312.59 which they allege is 10% of the amount of agreed
extras and is thus owed as additional contractor's fee under the terms of the contract.
