1)
 
1) Talo2000 includes classes for project management, design, supervision, construction, and maintenance, but they do not match the categories of the EN 15978 standard.
IfcTask 2)
STARTUP
 
2) An IfcTask may be assigned a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) code from a published external structure or company standard. As well as being used to designate the code, the classification structure also enables the source of the work breakdown structure classification to be identified.
