Kablann Architecte—Features
Features
Three plans, one project from start to finish.
All three plans cover the whole project, from concept to handover. On Essentiel, you enter the data. On Pilotage, the tool reads the documents for you. On Maîtrise, it writes for you: site meeting minutes, reminders, digests. Each plan includes the one before.

Feature details
Features, area by area.
Design
The drawing set stays with the project, and the client approves it in context.
See all 6 features
- Drawings filed by trade packageEssentiel
Opened full-page in the browser, with version tracking; duplicates are flagged.
- Annotations placed at the exact spot on the drawingEssentiel
Each comment stays attached to the drawing, and to the right version.
- Client approval of a drawingEssentiel
Approved for construction, or returned with comments or conditions.
- Drawings and files uploaded and versionedEssentiel
Any format except DWG (export as PDF). Each guest sees the files their role allows.
- Moodboards published to the clientEssentiel
The client comments and approves; the selected references become material choices, with no re-keying. Supplies the client is responsible for are flagged.
- Areas measured from the drawing, room by roomPilotage
Floor areas measured from a PDF drawing; walls and ceilings calculated from the dimensions and height; everything can be corrected manually. A project can be started from a single drawing.
Tendering and contracts
The tender package comes together quickly, and tenders are compared transparently, on a like-for-like basis.
See all 6 features
- CCTP (specifications) for each trade package with an assistant, DPGF (priced schedule), CCAP (contract conditions)Pilotage
The DCE (tender documents) is assembled trade package by trade package; the client can review the CCTP (specifications) from their workspace. The practice's own library of specification clauses.
- Trade packages set up in one stepPilotage
The tool recognises the trades; you untick and confirm.
- TenderingEssentiel
Contractors are invited one by one from the documents in the tender package, each with a deadline; each sees only its own trade package and submits its tender. You select the tender of your choice.
- Item-by-item comparisonPilotage
A transparent, cell-by-cell comparison: every blank cell is explained. The same item under two descriptions is grouped, and each tender is positioned against your estimate.
- Tender analysisPilotage
Each finding shows its source, along with the questions put to each contractor. No contractor ever sees another's prices, and the screen makes no recommendation on your behalf.
- Reasoned awardPilotage
Request to amend a tender, justified variance, decision recorded in the log.
Automatic reading
The documents you upload are read and filed for you. You confirm.
See all 4 features
- Quotes readPilotage

- Quantity take-offs, Word and Excel documents, .zip archivesPilotage
Upload a whole folder in one go; it is filed according to the file names.
- A dedicated email address for each projectPilotage
Copy it in: the message goes into the log, and the attachments are queued for filing. Only senders known to the practice are accepted.
- Cost estimate and price libraryPilotage
A cost estimate for the first meeting, based on a floor area, as soon as your library contains prices; every quote read adds to it.
Budget and payments
A budget that does not lie: the committed contract value is the awarded contract.
See all 4 features
- From quote to invoiceEssentiel
Deposits, cost variances and variations; compared against the budget agreed with the client. The same figure appears consistently across every screen and workflow.
- Cost per roomPilotage
“How much does the bathroom come to?” An estimate per room appears as soon as a drawing has been measured, the project's DPGF (priced schedule) has been drawn up and prices are available.
- Practice feesEssentiel
Payment schedule, fee invoices, payments reconciled.
- Approved interim payment applications, dated stampMaîtrise
Approval applies a dated stamp in the practice's name; payment authorisation; variations declared by the contractor.

Built in one click from the project file, with typical durations you can adjust; tasks assigned to your colleagues.

It answers your team from the project file and guides your guests through their workspace. It never shares margins or purchase prices.
- Permissions by role and by personAll
Each invited person has a role; the practice's administrator sets each person's permissions.

A completed project remains viewable and exportable for as long as you subscribe.
