Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for Construction

The entry into force of CATUC (Law no. 169/2026) changes the rules in construction: a unified code, new project classification, integrated approval commissions, and certification criteria by specialization. Poorly structured projects from the start become a compliance, budget, and schedule risk. Missing a clear breakdown of works is one of the most common causes of failure in coordinating complex projects.
