Findings of Fact,
Conclusions of Law and Ruling
GARY LANGBEIN, d/b/a
LANGBEIN FARMS, INC.,
Defendant.
This contested matter came before the Court on October 25, 2016. The Plaintiff
was present represented by his attorney, Warren Bush. The Defendant was present
represented by his attorney, Thomas Lipps. The Court has considered the testimony,
the exhibits offered and the arguments of counsel submitted through proposed findings
of fact. Having considered the same, the Court enters the following findings of fact,
conclusions of law and ruling.
Findings of Fact
The Court in part will borrow from the briefs submitted by both parties in
reaching its conclusion.
This lawsuit was filed by the Plaintiff, Jamie Schoneboom, d/b/a JDS
Construction, (Jamie) to collect for a hay shed that he constructed at the request of
defendant Gary Langbein (Langbein). Initially Langbein requested a proposal for a
pole building to be mounted on the ground with a dirt floor. Later he requested a
proposal for a building to be mounted on concrete stub walls with a concrete floor.
Jamie understood that he would be building the structure for Farm Credit Leasing who
was to pay him for that building and would then lease it to the Defendant.
1
The written proposal which Jamie submitted on April 28, 2014, Jamies Exhibit
3, specifically references the following specifications:
Construction of a 48 x 64 x 15 Hay storage shed complete with
concrete foundation. Owner will be responsible for preparing initial
grade as well as final grade. Slab will have a light broom finish.
That proposal goes on to recite that:
It has been discussed and understood that the Owner is seeking
to have a storage shed built with the purpose of storing hay. This bid
is job complete, meaning Contractor will supply material and labor and
will leave the job site in broom clean condition. An exact start time for
work has yet to be determined. It is understood that work will begin at
the earliest convenience of the Contractor, contingent upon acceptance
of the following bid. It is also understood that work will begin when,
and only when, Contractor has received a signed copy of the agreement.
All work will be performed in a timely and professional manner.
(Emphasis Supplied).
The proposal then goes on to list the building specifications. For purposes of the
issues in this litigation the following are significant:
Doors: (1) 36 x 80 Insulated Entry Door, (2) 24 x 15 Split Slider
Doors on gable ends.
Foundation 8 x 24 Stub wall foundation with frost footings and 6
Floor. (Emphasis Supplied).
The proposal further states that If foundation is not approved by Owner, Owner
may deduct $9,500 from the stated bid price. That language was included because
Farm Credit Leasing had not yet approved including the stub wall foundation with frost
footings and concrete floor, and if they did not, then the building would be mounted on
dirt with a dirt floor for a total price of $35,100 rather than $44,600.
In summary, the proposal was that Jamie would furnish the materials and labor
for the project for the sum of $44,600 if Farm Credit approved inclusion of the stub
walls and concrete floor unless an alteration or deviation from the specifications
occurred, in which case extra charges would be made. If the stub wall foundation and
concrete floor were not included then the price would be $35,100, excluding extras.
Neither Farm Credit Leasing nor Langbein ever signed a written acceptance of
the proposal so there is no written contract. Thus there is either an oral contract or,
alternatively, the plaintiff relies on quantum meruit to recover the fair value of the
goods and services provided.
In comparison to Jamies proposal, Langbein testified that the bid he received
from Morton Buildings was substantially higher ,and Plaintiffs expert, Joe Quail, who
has built many of these types of buildings, testified that had he submitted a bid for a
building with these specifications it would have been in the $60,000 range. Langbeins
expert, Sam Brockshus, a recent college graduate who has never poured concrete,
never built a building, did not price any materials, did not check with any companies
that build similar buildings, but rather went to a square foot reference in some book to
value the building, valued it at $30,000.
He admitted that in using that reference he
did not go into any reasonable level of detail to set forth an opinion as to the value of the
building. (Brockshus dep 37-41, 61-62).
While there was never any written contract, both parties acknowledge that an
oral contract was entered into per the terms previously mentioned. This was to include
a cement floor for the purposes of constructing a hay storage building. It was incumbent
upon the Defendant to grade the property in preparation for the laying of the
foundation. This foundation was significant in that it was agreed upon that stub walls
should be included to support the structure.
The original written agreement provided that 6 subfloors be provided in the
building. In addition, sliding doors were to be installed to allow access to the structure.
3
Deviation from the original plans moved one of the doors from the gabled entrance to
the east side to provide easier access.
After the laying of the cement floor, the
disagreement began to ferment. Specifically, the Defendant argued that the subfloor
were only 4 deep instead of the 6. In compliance with this complaint, the Plaintiff
poured an additional two inches.
The written proposal did not call for steel
reinforcements and the Plaintiff argues that it was unnecessary based upon the expected
use of the building.
In early August, 2014, after the floor was poured, Defendant Langbein
complained to Schoneboom about the workmanship of the floor and its uneven surfaces.
Both parties agree that a combative discussion between Langbein and Schoneboom
occurred late in the work day on the north side of the hay shed near Mr. Schonebooms
pickup. Langbein testified that he asked Schoneboom to fix the concrete work; and
when Schoneboom refused, he asked Schoneboom to guarantee the concrete work,
which he also refused. It would appear at this time that significant loggerheads had
been reached. Langbein went on to testify that based upon this interchange, he thought
the Plaintiff was finished with his work. The rafters were dropped off the next day by
Wall Lake Lumber and Langbein went on vacation. When he arrived back, he testified
he was surprised to see the building up with the roof and walls constructed. During the
ensuing weeks and months, examination and testing of the cement and the structure
were taken. The Court will reference the experts opinions shortly.
In June of 2015, based upon his belief that the Plaintiff had not substantially
complied with the contract, submitted an unconditional $23,000 tender for services
rendered.
This offer was based upon 25% reduction of the $30,000 valuation
determined by Mr. Brockshus. It should be pointed out that this is approximately

4
$7,000 less than the materials included in the project.
Sometime prior to that
submission, the Plaintiff had submitted a bill for $9,700 for concrete work including
labor. This check was delivered, but payment was stopped.
Numerous exhibits, including photos, were presented to the Court to either
support the Plaintiffs position, but in large part to point out what the Defendant
believed to be significant deficiencies in the construction.
They included faulty
construction work, including significant honeycombing, flashing that had torn loose,
uneven walls, and sliding doors that did not work because of the elevation. The doors
were discussed at some length, stating that their installation thwarted the useful
entrance and usefulness of the building. Further testimony was directed to moisture
that had accumulated within the building because of leakage from a number of spots.
The Courts attention was directed to Exhibits 157, 161, 165-167, 170-176, 180, 184, 185,
188.
The Defendant offered the following witnesses: (1) Gary Jackson. Mr. Jackson
was an engineer with eight years experience in concrete work. He had engaged in past
concrete testing and he was a certified concrete expert. He was asked to look at the
concrete. He determined that the concrete was approximately 5 to 5 which was
less than the intended depth. His observations were that the concrete was horrible to
look at; in fact, the worst he had ever seen. He found significant honeycombing and the
finish on the concrete was so bad that it did not even meet broom finish standards. It
was his belief that this rough surface would have a tendency to erode and it would not be
unreasonable to re-pour this entire project. It was his belief that this honeycombing
effect would affect the strength and integrity of this floor by as much as 25%. (2) Sam
Brockshus. Mr. Brockshus works for a full-service architecture and engineering firm in
Mankato, Minnesota, as well as Algona, Storm Lake and Des Moines. He has worked as
an engineer for 2 years and expects to become a full-fledged engineer with
professional license. He prepared an evaluation report and took photos. His report
included numerous deficiencies in the structure itself and the workmanship, all affecting
the structural elements of the building. In addition, he addressed the issue of the doors
and their improper application.
It should be pointed out once again that Mr.
Schoneboom determined the value of the building to be $30,000 based upon an

estimated square foot cost. (See Brockshus deposition summary.)
The Plaintiff offered evidence from two sources.
They were as follows: (1)
Joseph Quail. Mr. Quail testified that he was engaged in a family business that routinely
engaged in building projects.
This included residential buildings and commercial
buildings. He estimated their gross revenues to be 5 million dollars annually. He

testified that he did not know the Plaintiff before this incident. It was his belief that the
project fell within industry standards and found no deficiencies in the structural
integrity of the building. He did acknowledge that there were some cosmetic issues that
might need correcting but did not see the sliding door as a problem that could not be
fixed or adjusted. He further opined that the moisture or leakage was fairly common in
buildings of this nature and it was his belief that there was no way to prevent some
leakage. He felt all trusses were set properly and stated that his estimate of the value
was between $55,000-$60,000, and far from the $30,000 estimate of the Defendant.
(2) William Brotherton. Mr. Brotherton sells retail building materials, operating under
the name of Wall Lake Lumber.
In fact, he is the president and co-owner of the
company. His relationship with the Plaintiff caused him to state that in the past he
considered his work product of good quality. While he made what might be considered
a cursory inspection of the property, he stated there were no significant deficiencies that
could not be corrected.
In summary, the Defendant contends that the Plaintiff failed to substantially
comply with the work agreement in the following regards: (a) faulty foundation and
concrete; (b) improper installation of sliding doors; (c) aesthetic deficiencies, including
exposed nails, missing screws, loose flashing and (d) moisture issues.
It is for this reason that the Defendant has refused payment in excess of
the $23,000 tender previously made.
Conclusions of Law and Ruling
There are a number of matters that the parties seem to be in agreement. Both the
Plaintiff and the Defendant agree that an oral contract was entered into for the
construction of the hay building in the total purchase price of $44,892.50. Further, the
parties have both cited existing law of substantial compliance in the construction of
buildings. Specifically, in order for Langbein to be entitled to a deduction from the
amount of the Plaintiffs bill, it is incumbent upon him to provide credible evidence from
which the Court can find the value of any setoff should be made. When a contractor
substantially complies with a contract, [he] is entitled to recover the contract price with
deductions for any defects or incompletions. S. Hansen Lumber Co. v. DeMoss, 253
Iowa 204, 208, 111 N.W.2d 681, 684 (1961).
The contractor has the burden of proof to show substantial performance
with the contract. Farrington v. Freeman, 251 Iowa 18, 23, 99 N.W.2d
388, 391 (1959). Substantial performance allows only omissions or
deviations from the contract that are inadvertent or unintentional,
not the result of bad faith, do not impair the structure as a whole
are remediable without doing material damages to the other
portions of the building, and may be compensated for through
deductions in the contract price. Moores Builder, 409 N.W.2d
At 193. Once a contractor has met its burden to show substantial
performance, the [building] owner has the burden to show any
defects or incompletions which may be deducted from the contract
price. Id.
In analyzing the circumstances of this construction project, the Court has reached
the following conclusions. There is a difference of opinion as to the impairment of the
project based upon the integrity of the concrete. The Court finds that while it may not
be aesthetically pleasing, the Court is unconvinced that significant imperfections exist to
affect the overall use of the building. Further, issues that relate to the sliding door
appear to be correctable. This is due in part to the graded foundation which was
provided to the Plaintiff by the Defendant. It was an elevated area which might require
a ramp or some other addition to make access easier. The cosmetic issues all appear to
be correctable and the moisture issue may well be unavoidable.
In short, the Court finds that the Plaintiff has met the standard of
substantial compliance and is entitled to compensation, subject to any deductions.
In this instance, the Court agrees that there are certain things that are in
fact deficient. The Court is quick to point out that the Plaintiff offered to correct these
8
problems but was denied access by the Defendant. This position of the Defendant was
reaffirmed at the time of trial.
The evidence establishes that a high bid of approximately $60,000 was
entered at one time and a low bid of $30,000 was suggested by the Defendant. All
parties agree that the purchase price was approximately $44,000 plus. The Court
determines this to be the value of the building and the contract. In reaching its final
conclusion, the Court determines that the issues of quantum meruit and mitigation of
damage should be considered. The Defendant had previously used the percentage of
deduction to be 25% as applied to the $30,000 figure. Using the Defendants own
formula, the Court finds this is appropriately applied to the $44,892.50 figure, resulting
in a deduction of $11,223.12. At this point, the Defendant would be obligated to pay the
amount of $33,669.38. Recognizing these deficiencies, the Court is also aware that a
significant structure was provided to the Defendant.
Correctable deficiencies are
available, and the Plaintiff was denied the opportunity to correct them. The Plaintiff did
expend significant and compensation labor.
Therefore, the Court adjusts the final
figure by an additional $3,000, resulting in $36,669.38.

IT IS THE ORDER OF THIS COURT that judgment is entered on behalf of
the Plaintiff, Jamie Schoneboom, d/b/a JDS Construction, and against the Defendant,
Gary Langbein, d/b/a Langbein Farms, Inc., in the amount of $36,669.38, plus interest
at the legal rate from the date of filing, deducting the $23,000 partial payment which
was rejected by the Plaintiff. Costs are assessed to the Defendant.
