How the modules work together
What each TektonAI module gives the others and what you gain from it, in three concrete journeys, from the architect's model to the site fence.
You describe the site once. Each module picks up what the others already received.
Overview
- The site’s address, given once in the conversation, serves every module: the municipality and the city’s rules follow.
- My Equipment supplies your company’s parts to Scaffold and Fencing. Your plans carry your part numbers and weights.
- Parts & Materials is the shared technical reference. It suggests the values missing from your records in My Equipment (weight, dimensions, material), and feeds the catalogues. Your assistant fills in the records you ask it to.
- Scaffold · Échafaud makes the scaffold plan from the architect’s model or drawings.
- Fencing · Palissade lays out the site fence around Scaffold’s scaffold.
- Codes · Norme gives the exact text of the code articles the plans cite.
- QR-code verification covers the documents of every module: plans, calculation notes and catalogues.
Journey 1: from the model to the scaffold plan, then to the fence
- You upload the architect’s IFC model, or their PDF drawings.
- Scaffold reads the façades, storeys and party walls. It proposes the façades to scaffold, and you choose.
- The plan arrives with the DXF, the 3D model, the bill of materials and the calculation note.
- You ask for a fence around that scaffold. Fencing takes the scaffold from the plan: you do not give its length or position again.
- The fence plan gives the local wind, the ballast or braces, and the parts list.
You describe the site only once, and the two plans match.
Step by step: Architectural drawings: from the IFC model, then Fencing around a scaffold.
Journey 2: from a manufacturer’s catalogue to the parts in a plan
- You give your assistant a manufacturer’s PDF catalogue, or a photo of a parts list.
- My Equipment reads the parts and shows you a preview: new parts, the ones you already have, and their names in French and English.
- You ask for the import. It runs right away, and it deletes no record.
- Parts & Materials suggests the values missing from your records in My Equipment (weight, dimensions, material). Your assistant writes them for the parts you name.
- Scaffold and Fencing use your parts: the bill of materials carries your part numbers and weights. A part missing from your library stays generic and is marked “Hors catalogue” (not in catalogue).
The plans are made with the equipment you actually own.
Step by step: Import a manufacturer’s catalogue or a photo, then Make a scaffold plan with your own parts.
Journey 3: a site in Terrebonne
- You give the site’s address.
- Scaffold applies the city’s rule: it asks for a tarp or a net, since Terrebonne requires one of them.
- The local wind and the ties follow the protection you choose.
- Fencing asks for the type of site. For a building of 4 dwellings or more, the city requires a fence at least 1.83 m (6 ft) high with a dust tarp: the plan adds it.
- Codes gives you the exact text of the articles the plans cite.
- The plans remind you of the permit to occupy the sidewalk or street, to request from the city.
The city’s rules are in both plans.
What every plan has in common
- Every document carries a reference and a QR code. Anyone can check that it comes from TektonAI and has not changed. See Verify a plan.
- Documents come out in French or English, as you ask or in your profile’s language.
- Plans are preliminary: a competent person checks and approves them before erection or installation.
