A small error made by a construction company may lead to major losses for one New Zealand man.
Deepak Lal, a homeowner in Auckland, is in legal trouble after his new home was discovered to be three feet over his property line. The construction error means his home is partially built on his neighbor s land and the subsequent fine could cost him NZ $315,000 ( approximately USD $227,363), reported the NZ Herald.
Reportedly, Lal hired Pinnacle Homes, an Auckland and Waikato-based construction company specializing in residential work, to design and construct his three-bedroom house in Papakura.
