    “An attorney for PJ’s Construction said the developers didn’t want to hire surveyors.”

    Well there’s your problem.

    The answer here should be simple… the developers pay for demolition, removal of the house, and restore the property back to the condition where they found it.

      They’ve sued everyone instead…

      The lady that owns the property, the people who used to own it, a bank, an insurance company, I think a person that lives on another lot, the person who sold them the other lots.

      In all likelihood the lawsuits are a stall until they can declare bankruptcy and start a new company.

      But they can’t just “restore” the property, it was full of mature native trees/plants and for bulldozed.

      Also the reason they didn’t “need” surveyors, was lots are clearly marked via numbers on telephone poles. They just read the numbers wrong. Which is even worse.

      Why don’t they just pick up the house, and put it over there?

      Seriously, I’ve seen houses being moved on trucks before, would it be faster and cheaper to do that?
