GAEB interface

GAEB interface

Description

The Gcommon Acommittee Eelectronics in Bauwesen (GAEB) has set itself the task of promoting rationalization in the construction industry by means of automated data processing. It includes representatives of public and private clients, architects and engineers as well as the construction industry.

For the standardized exchange of data between the contracting authority (architect / authorities) and the construction company (GaLaBau company), the construction information is saved in files with a uniform format. These can be read in and further processed in any software that has a GAEB interface. BUSINESS supports the formats GAEB 90 and GAEB XML.

Following Exchange phases you can export and import:

81	Specifications
82	Cost estimate based on partial services (positions)
83	Request for quotation (the invitation to tender received by the gardener and landscaper)
84	Submission of an offer (the offer made by the gardener and landscaper)
85	Side offer
86	Surcharge / placing of order (the award specification drawn up by the architect)

For billing purposes, you can enter and export quantity statements for GAEB-LV in the REB 23.003 format.

The principles of data exchange are regulated in the GAEB. There are many “can” provisions that may not be met by every program. Before exchanging data, we recommend that you ensure that the importing program can process the functions used.
