What is a CCTP?
CCTP stands for Cahier des Clauses Techniques Particulières, a French project document describing the technical requirements of construction work. For an international reader, it is best understood as project-specific technical specifications. Its contractual role and terminology are specific to the French market.
KutchCAD connects work-item descriptions and quantities with project plans. It can produce written project documents such as CCTP, DPGF price schedules and descriptive notices, based on your project data and libraries.
Keep descriptions and quantities together
- Organise the project into trades, chapters, sections and work items.
- Create or use work-item libraries suited to your construction methods.
- Associate descriptions and calculation rules with drawing elements.
- Prepare written documents alongside 2D and 3D project views.
- Personalise document layouts, columns, logos and page breaks.
Specifications for your market
Technical specifications need to reflect the applicable standards, contractual requirements and project conditions. The English page explains the French CCTP workflow; it does not turn French documents into a guarantee of compliance with another country’s regulations.
Tell EDICAD which documents you need to produce, your existing libraries and the estimating tools you use. A demonstration can show how the quantities and descriptions connect and which outputs are suitable for your organisation.

Your questions, answered
Can I customise the descriptions?
KutchCAD supports work-item libraries and personalised written document layouts. The content of your descriptions should be reviewed for the requirements of the project.
Is a CCTP the same as an international specification?
A CCTP is a French contractual document. It shares the purpose of describing technical work, but local terminology, standards and contractual requirements differ.
Are quantities linked to the specifications?
Work items and quantities can be connected to the project representation, allowing written documents and estimates to be prepared from the same project information.
