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 package

    Opened full-page in the browser, with version tracking; duplicates are flagged.

    Essentiel
  • Annotations placed at the exact spot on the drawing

    Each comment stays attached to the drawing, and to the right version.

    Essentiel
  • Client approval of a drawing

    Approved for construction, or returned with comments or conditions.

    Essentiel
  • Drawings and files uploaded and versioned

    Any format except DWG (export as PDF). Each guest sees the files their role allows.

    Essentiel
  • Moodboards published to the client

    The client comments and approves; the selected references become material choices, with no re-keying. Supplies the client is responsible for are flagged.

    Essentiel
  • Areas measured from the drawing, room by room

    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.

    Pilotage

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)

    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.

    Pilotage
  • Trade packages set up in one step

    The tool recognises the trades; you untick and confirm.

    Pilotage
  • Tendering

    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.

    Essentiel
  • Item-by-item comparison

    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.

    Pilotage
  • Tender analysis

    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.

    Pilotage
  • Reasoned award

    Request to amend a tender, justified variance, decision recorded in the log.

    Pilotage

Automatic reading

The documents you upload are read and filed for you. You confirm.

See all 4 features
  • Quotes read

    Amount, items, VAT, issuer, proposed trade package — you confirm. Supply and installation separated, duplicates spotted.

    Pilotage
  • Quantity take-offs, Word and Excel documents, .zip archives

    Upload a whole folder in one go; it is filed according to the file names.

    Pilotage
  • A dedicated email address for each project

    Copy it in: the message goes into the log, and the attachments are queued for filing. Only senders known to the practice are accepted.

    Pilotage
  • Cost estimate and price library

    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.

    Pilotage

Budget and payments

A budget that does not lie: the committed contract value is the awarded contract.

See all 4 features
  • From quote to invoice

    Deposits, cost variances and variations; compared against the budget agreed with the client. The same figure appears consistently across every screen and workflow.

    Essentiel
  • Cost per room

    “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.

    Pilotage
  • Practice fees

    Payment schedule, fee invoices, payments reconciled.

    Essentiel
  • Approved interim payment applications, dated stamp

    Approval applies a dated stamp in the practice's name; payment authorisation; variations declared by the contractor.

    Maîtrise

Construction

The biggest part of the project — and the one that takes over your evenings.

See all 7 features
  • Phase-based timeline

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

    Essentiel
  • Site meeting minutes

    Numbered register: each item stays open from one set of minutes to the next until it is closed out. You write the minutes, attach your site visit photos and circulate them to everyone.

    Essentiel
  • AI-prepared site meeting minutes

    The draft is ready as you leave the site visit; a record of who opened it, who confirmed they had read it, and when.

    Maîtrise
  • Snagging items

    Created from the site meeting minutes, separated by contractor, tracked until close-out.

    Essentiel
  • Work progress, trade package by trade package

    You update the progress of each trade package yourself: started, percentage complete, milestone observed, photos, completed. The client follows the trade packages under way, with no amounts shown.

    Essentiel
  • Contractor-reported progress, handover

    The contractor reports progress milestones with supporting photos; a single progress figure everywhere; handover certificate prepared, retention calculated.

    Maîtrise
  • Dynamic schedule

    Dependencies, tasks with no float flagged, impact analysis before a schedule change, schedule-change request with the parties' agreement.

    Maîtrise

Signatures and communication

Send the right information once, at the right time.

  • Client e-signature

    The client signs the quote online; once signed, the quote becomes a committed contract value and all parties are notified. Quotes awaiting signature are queued, one click each.

    Paid option
  • Message the whole project from one screen

    Notifications by role; nothing is sent automatically at night or at the weekend.

    Essentiel
  • Prepared reminders

    The text is ready for you to review: you send it in one click. Each message goes out once, never twice.

    Maîtrise
  • Mobile messaging

    One thread per project in the mobile messaging app you link to the project: announcements, questions, documents. On site, you dictate your messages using your phone's keyboard.

    Pilotage
  • Morning, evening or weekly digests

    Everyone chooses their own; they are sent automatically, never at night or at the weekend.

    Maîtrise
  • Message translation

    In development: everyone will write in their own language and read everyone else's messages in translation, with the original alongside.

    Coming soon

Guest workspaces and trust

Included in every plan.

See all 6 features
  • Client, contractor, engineering consultant and quantity surveyor workspaces

    Free and unlimited; passwordless sign-in; client approvals in one place.

    All
  • Contractors' administrative file

    For companies registered in France: Kbis (company registration extract), ten-year liability insurance, professional liability insurance and URSSAF (social security) certificate of compliance. The tool warns you when a document is missing or out of date (URSSAF every six months, the others every year) and keeps a record of the reason; it does not block payment. Companies are looked up by their SIRET (French company registration number).

    All
  • K, the assistant for each project

    It answers your team from the project file and guides your guests through their workspace. It never shares margins or purchase prices.

    All
  • Permissions by role and by person

    Each invited person has a role; the practice's administrator sets each person's permissions.

    All
  • Closed projects archived

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

    All
  • A project's complete file, in one download

    Documents filed by trade package and by type, earlier versions, table of contents and project log, whether the project is closed or not. Available to the practice's administrator only.
