The terms of the agreement provided that Moss     would have the right to design and build the building subject to Troomp      approving the architectural specification before building commenced. Moss estimated that             the cost of excavating the foundation would be approximately $20,000,000         based on geological surveys that the ground was light porous rock.          When construction commenced, it turned out that the bedrock was granite and that it       would require more equipment and time to excavate the site. In fact, it was         estimated that the cost of the excavation would actually be $75,000,000. Moss        demanded that Troomp reimburse them an additional $55,000,000 representing             the actual cost of excavation.
