Opening statements were heard Tuesday in CVN's webcast of Andersen Builders v. Kritikos.
According to plaintiff attorney Jack Seiler, the case was very simple: "Andersen Builders did the work, did it well, got fired, and didn't get paid." Thirty-two consecutive payment applications were submitted by Andersen and were paid without objection. According to Seiler, the owner, Chris Kritikos, got in an argument with the architect, Peter Gluck. As a result of this dispute, Andersen was not paid for its last eight draws, totaling $548K.
