Answer

In Procore, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a method for deconstructing a complex construction project into a hierarchy of logical work segments. Your segments define all of the required activities to complete the project. Procore's WBS lets your company's Procore Administrator create a customised breakdown that represents your construction job and you can use it to manage and measure the financial costs and revenue aspects of your construction project. 

Examples

Example 1

Below is an example of a customised budget code structure. This example has one flat custom segment (Program), one flat default segment (Cost Type) and a two (2)-tiered default segment (Cost Code).
