Therefore, the plaintiff's work price is 633,166,045 won (75,700,000 won - 122,53,955 won).

B. According to the appraisal result of the appraiser D for additional construction cost, it can be found that the additional construction cost to be finally increased or decreased by design modification or error work as to the instant subcontract is the cause of 214,911,382.

According to each description of Eul evidence Nos. 4-1, 2, and 3, the plaintiff was a person who was paid KRW 768,959,050 from the defendant, and it is recognized that the defendant paid KRW 3,630,000 on behalf of the defendant. Thus, the above total amount of KRW 772,589,050 ( KRW 768,959,050) ( KRW 3,630,00) is paid by the plaintiff.
