Work Breakdown Structure - Free
Work Breakdown Strucure is one way to classify activities on a schedule, organize an estimate, classify labor codes and the like. WBS coding is being used more as owners become increasingly sophisticated. Private companies and public entities are finding that construction is not an interruption to their opertations but a neccesary part. Having a way to categorize the building process not only lets owners participate actively but also, gives them some historical information for the next time they build. Contractors should become familiar with the list and how their work would be classified and treated under this system.
