GAEB Generation as a Service

From IFC component lists to tender-ready GAEB files, commissioned directly from DKCE

The challenge

BIM models contain a wealth of quantity data, but turning it into a clean, structured bill of quantities is still largely manual work. Exporting IFC component lists to Excel is the easy part. Mapping the items to a consistent specification structure, writing the descriptions, and producing a valid GAEB file for tendering is time-consuming and error prone.

How it works

Send us your data. Provide the Excel component lists exported from your IFC model, along with any project-specific requirements such as trade, structure or specification standards.

Conversion and structuring. The KI-Converter reads the component data, groups and structures the items, and generates the bill of quantities.

Expert review. We check the results for plausibility, completeness and consistency, so you receive a reviewed deliverable rather than raw machine output.

Delivery. You receive the GAEB file, plus a supporting Excel overview on request, ready to import into your tendering and cost management software.

Our service

We convert your IFC-based Excel component lists into GAEB files that are ready for tendering. We do this with our own AI-supported software, the KI-Converter, combined with professional review by an experienced cost and tender manager.

You do not need to buy or license any software. You commission the service directly from us, either as a one-off project or on a recurring basis. We run the conversion and deliver the finished result.

What you receive

A GAEB file generated from your IFC component lists

A structured bill of quantities with consistent item descriptions

A plausibility check of quantities and structure

Optional: an Excel overview for your internal review
