About CRBX files

A .crbx file is a specialized data exchange container used to transfer building specifications, pricing, and project data within the Swiss construction industry. These files adhere to strict standards set by the CRB and the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA). Typically, .crbx files are managed using specialized Building Information Modeling (BIM) validation software like Solibri Model Checker.

The main disadvantage of the .crbx format is its highly regional and proprietary nature. Users outside the Swiss construction sector will find it essentially impossible to read. Attempting to open these files without the correct software usually results in errors, and acquiring the necessary CRB-compliant BIM tools often requires expensive, ongoing software subscriptions.

Users frequently need to convert .crbx files to standard XML, CSV, or PDF to access the bill of quantities or project specifications without specialized tools. However, converting complex hierarchical BIM data to a flat spreadsheet often results in a loss of relational context.

Because this file relies on specific CRB data schemas, standard online converters fail to process it. However, the .crbx file is actually a compressed ZIP archive under the hood. If our analysis detects standard embedded text, viewing and partial conversion is instantly possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your CRBX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted NPK, PDF, XZP, PGZ and FLZ files.
