WHAT IS BUILDING AND STRUCTURE

• Description :Students team up with a partner. They set up their work area so they are sitting back to back and cannot see each other's work space. Each partner gets a bag of lego pieces (both partners have the identical pieces). They take turns building a structure and giving directions to their partners to build the identical structure. Compare and discuss. Do the activity at least twice per person.
  


• 
  
  Objectives: Students will be able to improve on their skills as the lesson progresses. The better their partner does constructing the legos according to the instructions given, the better job the partner is doing giving the directions.

Dangerous Structures

• Under the Building Act 1984 local authorities are able to deal with a building or structure that is in a dangerous condition.
  The danger may have arisen from the condition of the property or from loads that a building or structure may be carrying.
  Every day of the year local authority Building Control Officers regularly investigate reports of possible ‘dangerous structures’ and decide whether there is in fact a danger, and if so, whether the danger is potential or imminent.
  Where a building or structure is considered to be in such a state or is carrying such loads as to be imminently dangerous and immediate action should be taken to remove the danger, the local authority may take such steps as are necessary for that purpose. Efforts would be made to contact the owner before this action is taken as the cost of such work is recoverable from the owner of the property.
  If the survey indicates a potential danger it is usual for building control to serve informal notice on the owner requesting that steps be taken to remove the danger and giving reasonable time within which to carry out the work.
  Where an owner fails to comply with an informal notice, steps can be taken by the local authority to apply to a Magistrates Court by way of complaint for an order.


• A court may make an order requiring the owner to carry out such work as may be necessary to remove the danger, stipulating a time within which the work must be done, or where the danger arises from overloading of the building or structure, restricting its use until a court is satisfied that any necessary work has been done.
