Case Study: Preferred Home Contracting

Robert Chuckrow Construction Company (Chuckrow) was employed as the general contractor to build a Kinney Shoe Store. Chuckrow employed Ralph Gough to perform the carpentry work on the store. The contract with Gough stipulated that he was to provide all labor, materials, tools, equipment, scaffolding, and other items necessary to complete the carpentry work. Gough’s employees erected 38 trusses at the job site. The next day, 32 of the trusses fell off the building. The reason for the trusses having fallen was unexplained, and evidence showed that it was not due to Chuckrow’s fault or a deficiency in the building plans. Chuckrow told Gough that he would pay him to reerect the trusses and continue work. When the job was complete, Chuckrow paid Gough the original contract price but refused to pay him for the additional cost of reerecting the trusses. Gough sued Chuckrow for this expense. Can Gough recover?

A third of my life was spent in a family home in Elk Grove, California called Shadowbrook. More accurately, Shadowbrook is the name of the model of one of the cookie cutter homes by DR Horton, home construction company. This two-story and approximately 2,450 square feet single family home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms featuring a central heating and cooling system, fireplace, and tandem three car garage. Shadowbrook was built in 2003 where my family was fortunately the first owner of this structure housing my parents, myself, and my two sisters. Since Shadowbrook is a fairly new house, little transformation has been done to the home; most transformation of the house was applied to the landscaping of the lot of the house. One of the most memorable part of my life was the feeling and the process of moving into an actual house as I had lived in apartments for the better part of my life. Unfortunately, I gave very little thoughts about the house itself since any family house we would have moved in would still had made me delighted for it would still be a new change or an “upgrade” from my previous family residence. After a stumble of curiosity, I wanted to know what expectation I had when moving into this family home and does it follow a particular trend of the time.

Working in a sales environment presents numerous opportunities to evaluate competitors and opportunities for customer growth. In the industry of home warranties, there are several competitors for consumers to choose from to service their homes. I work in the sales department and hear customers concerns and inquires about differences between my company and our competitors.
