Surely it still is criminal damage? Just because it's a company who made a mistake doesn't deny the fact that a group of people unlawfully blew someones house up.
Usually Demo Companies do not ALSO do construction. Besides, would you want a group this idiotic to rebuild your house? They might very well finish up, then discover they built it in Baghdad by mistake.
GPS doesn't go wrong for magical reasons, so they must have gotten the wrong coordinates from the county office (or their own main office), so it seems odd to blame GPS, it's the data they looked up that must have been faulty, or they can't read what their GPS says I guess. Mind you you typically don't go by GPS alone for something like this, you get the drawings from the county's archives and use the GPS to get roughly near it and use the drawings from there on, if alone for security and avoiding damages to stuff you should be careful with.
And the question is who made the mistake, because that party will have to pay so that is what has to be determined, and that's why everybody is coming up with excuses and trying to shift the blame I guess.
Anyway, seems odd to suggest GPS has some kind of fault.
Build a new house with mines in the front yard and laser defense systems. thatll keep those pesky demo crews and other kinds of vile critters off the property. Also, judging by the picture, you used wood to build the house. use marble and limestone next time

Judge: I don't care if you've "got paperwork" or not. You tore down someone's house, and you're going to be rebuilding it.
I sure as hell hope that's what happens.

I'd rather have the money to rebuild it rather than spiteful demolitioners with mortar, but that's just splitting hairs.
It's not criminal. No intent.
This is a screw up subject to civil remedies.
In Britain you would sue under the tort of negligence. I'm sure the US has similar laws.

A brick house is like legos right. Just stack back up the way it was?

Of course they had intent....they intended to blow the hell out of a house.
