The following excerpt is from Rivera v. Metropolitan Construction Ltd., 2012 BCPC 2 (CanLII):

In Rafal v. Legaspi [2007 BCSC 1944], Justice Fisher considered the basic elements of a housing contract in the context of whether the parties were ad idem: … for building contracts, it is not sufficient for both parties to have agreed on the building of a house. For the contract to be enforceable, the parties must also agree on the exact type of house, the timeline for completion and the price… (@ paragraph 23). Deposit or Partial Payment
