GC Company is a building contractor, performing work for the Owner of a construction
project. The contract between GC Company and Owner provides that there will be six
phases of work. Further it provides that at the end of each phase of work, GC Company
should submit its request for payment to Owner’s architect. Once the architect approves
the work performed, GC Company is entitled to payment of 1/6 of the total contract
price. GC Company performs work on phases 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the Owner pays for
the work despite the fact that GC Company never submitted its requests for payment to
the architect and never got the architect’s approval of the work. When GC Company
submits its request for the sixth and final payment, the Owner refuses to pay it on the
grounds that GC Company has never submitted it, or any other request for payment, to
the architect. What is GC Company’s most likely argument that it is entitled to payment?
