Masterpiece Construction is justified to seek help contractually if no prior stipulation of duty delegations was established within the original contract.
Build them to fall’s workmanship, has become an issue with Grocery, Inc. due to differences in the design of the building. The delegation of duties argument can be contested by Grocery, Inc. justifiably due to the way Masterpiece Construction carried out its duties in which comparable or of the same craftsmanship of comparable companies. Build them to fall’s substandard build execution, has now created a situation that degrades and demeans Masterpiece Constructions creditability.
Authority to Subcontract the work by Build them to fall, from Masterpiece Construction was not granted by Grocery Inc. and as such Masterpiece Construction cannot place a claim based upon commercial impracticability as this action of assuming additional work was done post contract with Grocery, Inc.

Deferring consideration of Daniels’s motion until after Bolanos and Daniels are deposed will “provide an additional safeguard against an improvident or premature grant of summary judgment.”…
