A hierarchical chart that breaks a construction project down into all its individual tasks and work packages.
A Work Breakdown Structure is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of a construction project into smaller, more manageable components of work, organized in a tree structure. The WBS defines and organizes work packages that form the basis for scheduling, cost estimating, and resource allocation. Each WBS element represents a deliverable or work product, and the sum of all WBS elements represents 100% of the project scope.
The project manager creates a five-level WBS that breaks the school project into buildings, systems, areas, phases, and individual work packages for estimating and scheduling purposes.
