The same thing happened to me last month ... but with n interesting final twist.
I work as COO of a small/medium construction company. We specialize in industrial biuldings made of prefabricated concrete (warehouses, workshops and such). We usually build for individual developers who buy plots in industrial parks.
We just finished two of these for a client when a guy walks to my on-site engineer and tells him that we just built one of the two buildings in his plot instead of our client's. This was so because all the plots are the same and we were one plot to the right from where we should have been.
Fortunately we had a letter from the surveyor validating the location of our work. In the end the surveyor bought the plot with the building on it form the owner and our client commisioned us another building in his vacant plot (on the surveyors money), so we ended doing 3 buildings instead of the 2 planned. Now I call that a good sales tactic!!!
