Candy may recover the costs needed to complete the construction from Beachside Pools, Inc. This is because Beachside failed to build the pool according to the contract specifications, and Candy had to hire Do-We Fix-It Company to finish the project. Candy should not be responsible for any additional costs beyond what was necessary to complete the project as originally agreed upon in the contract.
