Uhrhahn Construction prepared proposals for work on construction projects for Lamar and Joan Hopkins. The Hopkinses signed the proposals for each project under sections titled Acceptance of Proposal. The proposals stated that any changes to the written estimates and specifications had to be in writing. During the construction, the Hopkinses made several oral requests for additional work not included in the proposals.
