Heading: Claim for Additional Work

Text: Finally, Exton contends that the trial court incorrectly awarded the cost of certain extras to Blythe, since no written architect's order for them was obtained by Blythe as required by the contract. Exton, however, waived this requirement by its failure to employ an architect to supervise the performance of the work. Further, the evidence supports Blythe's contention that Exton's on-site representative requested that he do the extra work and that this work benefited Exton. The trial court did not err in awarding the cost of this work to Blythe. See Universal Builders, Inc. v. Moon Motor Lodge, Inc., 430 Pa. 550, 557-8, 244 A. 2d 10 (1968). Finding no error in the decision below, we affirm the judgment. Mr. Chief Justice BELL and Mr. Justice EAGEN concur in the result.
