2. Judgment on the plaintiff's claim
A. The plaintiff's assertion 1) The non-paid construction cost shall be paid to the plaintiff the remaining construction cost of KRW 62,822,416 and damages for delay. 2) The plaintiff paid additional construction cost at the request of the defendant. Thus, the defendant shall pay the additional construction cost of KRW 38,51,090 and damages for delay.
B. 1) Determination 1) The fact that the Defendant paid only KRW 1,130,677,584 of the instant construction cost is as stated in the above 1.1. As such, the Defendant is obligated to pay the remainder of the construction cost (i.e., construction cost of KRW 1,193,50,500,000 - KRW 1,130,677,584) and damages for delay thereof to the Plaintiff. (ii) As to the additional construction cost, Article 34(3) of the instant contract provides that “The determination on the additional construction cost shall take precedence over the drawings and general specifications,” and thus, it can be deemed that the Plaintiff and the Defendant agreed on the contents and scope of the instant construction work based on the contract specifications.
