If a house is built 1.5 ft too close to the road is it the contracters fault or the land surveyers fault?

Who ever laid the house out on the property, which should have been the contractor. The surveyors show you the four corners of the property, not where the house will sit. When the excavator shows up to dig, the contractor should have the house laid out for them.

Perhaps, because not all faults are apparent until they move. And to answer your question, yes, since there are many many faults located, there are also over 100 nuclear plants in the US itself and faults need to be built were cooling water is available, such as a river, and faults are originally located along some rivers. So yes, plants are built along fault lines inevitably.
