Bari Builders, Inc. v. Hovstone Properties Florida, Hovesite Monteverde 1&2, and Town & Country Builders, Inc.
District Court of Appeal of Florida
1Opinion of the CourtDamoorgian, C.J.
Appellant, Bari Builders, Inc., appeals the trial court’s denial of its motion to compel arbitration pursuant to a subcontract between it and Appellee, Hovstone Properties Florida, LLC. Because the subcontract contains an unambiguous arbitration provision, we reverse.
This dispute stems from a construction defect lawsuit brought by a condominium association against Appellees, the condominium’s developers. In turn, Appellees brought a third-party complaint against their subcontractors, including Appellant. Appellant moved to compel arbitration based on the following provision in the subcontract:
