In a construction contract, when does a party commit a breach?

When a party to a building or construction contract fails to comply with a duty imposed by the terms of the contract, a breach results, for which an action may be maintained to recover damages; and, of course, a breach occurs when the contractor fails to perform substantially in accordance with the terms of the contract. Additionally, the act of an owner in preventing the contractor from performing the contract is a breach.
