13-850. Damages to owner; contracts for construction.
For [defective] [and] [or] [unfinished] construction [The reasonable cost of completing the construction called for in the contract.]
[The difference between the value of the construction called for in the contract and the value of the performance that has been received.]
USE NOTE
The two bracketed paragraphs reflect alternative measures of damages. The first bracketed paragraph represents the favored measure of damages and should be used, unless the court finds special circumstances require use of the second paragraph. The second bracketed paragraph is to be used only where completion of the contract would involve unreasonable waste of money.
