J.E.T. Development v. Dorsey Construction

J.E.T. Development and other property owners sued a contractor, Gary Carpenter, and his firm, Dorsey Construction Co., Inc., for failure to complete the construction of a restaurant. The contractor cross-claimed against the owners to foreclose a labor and materialmen's lien. After trial, the court denied relief on the owners' complaint and entered judgment for the contractor. The owners have appealed. We affirm. We are asked to decide three questions: (1) Did the trial court err in finding that the parties had entered into a cost-plus contract and that the total charge against the owners under the contract were reasonable? (2) Did the trial court err in limiting rebuttal testimony? (3) Was the contractor entitled to a statutory attorney fee on his successful cross-claim?
