Why Karta

From twelve tools to one shared truth.

Interior projects live in email, WhatsApp, PDFs and spreadsheets. Karta pulls that scatter into a single project everyone can trust, then keeps it in sync as work moves.

A strip out on day one. A handover twenty two weeks later. Between them, hundreds of small decisions. Karta keeps them in the light.

What you get

Built for the way interiors actually get built.

Six capabilities that remove the daily friction. No modules to configure, nothing to migrate.

Transparent communication

One thread per project, per room, per decision. Clients, designers, PMs and trades in the same context.

Live project visibility

Stage, budget, approvals and next action, visible to every role in real time.

Documentation that writes itself

Photos, approvals and revisions attach to the right room and person automatically.

Collaboration without meetings

Ask, approve and hand off in app. Weekly sync becomes a scroll, not a call.

Faster delivery

Dependencies surface before they bite. Milestones move because the work does.

One source, six languages

English, German, Polish, French, Spanish, Italian. One project, many teams.

How it works

One request, followed all the way to handover.

Karta is the single source of truth. Each step is written to the same project, visible to everyone who needs it and to nobody who does not.

  1. Step 01Client requestAsked in plain language
  2. Step 02DesignerDrawing or spec updated
  3. Step 03ApprovalSigned and timestamped
  4. Step 04Project managerSequenced into the plan
  5. Step 05TradesAssigned with the current drawing
  6. Step 06Site updatePhoto, note or voice message
  7. Step 07Client notifiedProgress visible instantly
  8. Step 08HandoverFull history, nothing lost

One chain, one record. Every step writes to the same project, so nobody has to ask what happened, when, or who decided it.

Always in sync

An approval, a task done, a new revision. Every change updates the other dashboards instantly. No re syncing, no chasing, no exports.

Trades keep WhatsApp. Karta keeps the record.

Subcontractors will not adopt a new tool mid project. They message the site group as always. Karta files every update, photo and question into the right project, task and drawing, then answers come back the same way.

The trade never installs anything and never learns a new tool. Karta keeps the record, the timestamp and the audit trail on the studio side.

What we are working on

The problems are well documented.

Industry research plus more than thirty interviews we ran with designers, project managers, clients and trades. These are the numbers Karta is built to move, not results we claim yet.

Karta is in closed pilot, so we publish sourced industry data and our own interview findings instead of performance claims. Pilot results follow when the sample is large enough to mean something.

Common questions

Answers, before you ask.

Do we have to migrate our current tools?

No. Start with one live project in Karta and keep everything else running. Studios usually retire their spreadsheets within the first two projects.

How long does onboarding take?

About ten days. We set up your studio, import your first project and train the team on a real site, not a slide deck.

Who is Karta for?

Interior design studios, general contractors and project managers running renovations, fit outs and residential builds between 50k and 5M euro.

Where is data stored?

In the European Union. GDPR by default. Double opt in for anything marketing.

Does it work on site, on a phone?

Yes. Trades get one task, one action and the current drawing. Photos and updates sync back to every dashboard.

What does it cost?

Karta is free during the pilot phase. Pricing is announced with paid access, and it will always be per studio, not per seat.

About

A studio for people who build interiors.

Karta is built by designers, project managers and engineers who have delivered interior projects across Europe. We ran more than thirty interviews with studios, project managers, clients and trades before writing the first feature, and nothing lands because a roadmap said so.
