The question of who pays the cost of remedying defective work is easy to answer when the basis of compensation to the contractor or design-builder is a stipulated price; however, it’s less clear when the method of compensation is cost-plus-a-fee. Should the contractor or design-builder be paid by the owner for remedying defective work when compensation is on the basis of cost-plus, and the amount paid out by the owner to-date is less than the guaranteed maximum price?
