Quoted from RCA1:If there really is axproblem with the building location, another possibility is that the property survey and site plan are correct, and the building was mistakenly laid out in the wrong spot for construction.
The construction staking may have been done by a surveyor, the contractor, or a sub-contractor-either an engineering or suveying firm.
No one outside really seems to have enough information to have an informed opinion as to what might be going on.
Hope it gets straightened out amicably.
Without any supporting facts, I’m leaning towards the contractor misinterpreting the off-sets on the batter boards.
When building schools, I would have the surveyor verify footings/forms prior to pour. If you have to move something, better before concrete has been placed.
What bothers me the most is it doesn’t appear possible to move the building 8 feet to the north without encroaching into the adjacent service road (& easement). Did they make the building too big? Not likely…
Will be interesting to hear the full story when all is said and done.
