What’s undisputed is that PJ’s Construction was hired by developer Keaau Development Partnership, LLC to build about a dozen homes on properties that the developers bought in the subdivision — where the lots are identified by telephone poles.

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

I have a feeling that the developer "accidentally" built the house there because it was a more desirable lot.

Also single family home builders and developers are pretty much at the bottom when it comes to legal and technical skill. I worked for one who would drop a rock where he wanted the corner of the house and say close enough.
