Skanska-Trident is suing three architectural groups and the project management company for the Gaillard Center renovation and expansion project. Skanska claims the architects and project management company are to blame for project delays and driving up the project's cost.
Skanska is accusing the defendants — David M. Schwarz Architects, Earl Swensson Associates, Evans & Schmidt Architects and The Projects Group — of negligence and negligent misrepresentation under restatement of torts. The company is also accusing the three architectural firms of breach of warranty of plans and specifications. Skanska claims the architectural firms submitted construction documents that were not final and did not reflect a design that could be constructed within the city's budget.
Skanska is asking for a minimum of $20 million in damages for each of the three causes of action.
