Sub-Projects

Large projects rarely run as a single workstream. Kanna's sub-project feature lets you break complex projects down into distinct, manageable parts, each with its own team, access permissions and deliverables. Every layer of the project stays organised and visible, without the noise of the full project getting in the way.

Break Large Projects Down Into Focused, Manageable Parts

Sub-projects give teams and subcontractors a clear, contained scope to work within, while keeping everything connected to the parent project above it. More granularity where it is needed, without adding complexity to the overall view.

Create sub-projects for any distinct deliverable or workstream

Whether a large project involves multiple trades, separate phases or distinct deliverables, each can be set up as its own sub-project within Kanna. Teams work within a focused scope that reflects what they are actually responsible for, rather than having access to the entire project. This keeps day-to-day management cleaner and reduces the risk of information being missed or misapplied

Create Sub-projects

Control who has access to what

Each sub-project can be assigned to specific individuals, internal teams or external subcontractors, with access granted only to what is relevant to them. Sensitive project information stays visible to the right people and no one else. For projects involving multiple contractors or specialist trades working in parallel, this level of access control is practical, not just a security consideration.

Keep communication and files exactly where they belong

Documents, photos and conversations within a sub-project are stored and managed at that level, keeping them organised and easy to find. Teams working within a sub-project communicate in context, without their updates and files being lost within the broader project. Everything is connected to the parent project but managed at the scale that makes sense for each workstream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out to our team directly and we'll be happy to help.

Can sub-projects be assigned to external subcontractors?

Yes. Sub-projects can be shared with external parties including subcontractors, with access limited to the specific sub-project they are involved in. They will not have visibility of the wider parent project unless explicitly granted.

Is the sub-project feature available on the standard plan?

Sub-Projects is an optional feature. Get in touch with the team and we can help you find the right plan for your needs.

Can files and photos be managed separately within a sub-project?

Yes. Documents and photos can be stored and managed at the sub-project level, keeping everything organised within its relevant workstream and easy for the right team to find.
