DREWS CO. V. LEDWITH-WOLFE ASSOCIATES
296 S.C. 207, 371 S.E. 2d 532 (1988)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over a construction contract.
FACTS: Drews (P) contracted with Ledwith (D) to renovate a building and convert it into a restaurant. The project was plagued by delays, work change orders, and complaints about the quality of the work performed from the very inception of the work. P eventually pulled his workers off the project and sued to foreclose on his mechanic's liens. D counterclaimed for lost profits and breach of contract and the cost to redo part of the job. D also claimed losses from the delay in opening his restaurant. The jury gave P a verdict of $18,000 and D a verdict of $22,895 for redoing work and $14,000 in lost profits. P appealed.
