I am a licensed contractor. I gave a bid to a customer for a pool that needed 'special engineering' her other bids were higher and the bids for special engineering was on average $5,000.00, I gave a price on the pool that she accepted and I told her that I could obtain the engineering at my cost ($1,500.00) only if I am promised the work, she agreed and told me to get the engineering and we would sign the construction contract after, I found out that she was still getting bids on the work while the engineering was being completed, when I called her and told her that her engineering was ready, she told me that she hired another contractor and to take her the engineering plans, I told her that because she breached the agreement, I have to mark up the engineering $750.00, she declined to pay and now is sueing me in small claims and filed complaints against me with the BBB and license board, can I hold her to the agreement and counter sue?
