Work Sections
Work Section: One or several physical parts of a Facility viewed as the result of particular skills and techniques applied to particular Construction Products and/or Designed Elements during the Production Process. [Adapted from ISO TR 14177]
Work Section: One or several physical parts of a construction works, viewed as the result of particular skills and techniques applied to particular construction products and/or elements during the production process. [ISO/TC59/SC13/N75]
Work Section: The summation of similar Work Items across all Assemblies. [CCS]
It is important to note that Work Sections and Elements are not 'competing' systems but represent complementary methodologies. The attached table displays the relationship between the two systems on a typical project indicating the wide choice of materials that are functionally comparable. Due to this the advantages of tracking costs from both directions becomes apparent.
The CCS adopts the following Work Sections. The two letter codes for Work Sections, except for PR are unique to Work Sections and do not overlap with the two letter element codes. In the CCS a two letter code will represent either a Work Section or an Element, except for PR which is common to both and represents the same scope of work.
