Extract text from D83 files
To convert your D83 file to another format, you need GAEB-Online or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Construction Tender File" file type, you need software like GAEB-Online or a similar tool.
A .d83 file is a standard data exchange format used in the German construction industry, specifically representing a GAEB 90 Request for Tender (Angebotsaufforderung). These files contain a detailed Bill of Quantities (BoQ) that architects or project managers send to construction companies to solicit price bids.
While essential for the bidding process, .d83 files are based on a legacy ASCII text structure that is difficult for modern users to manage without specialized tools. They cannot be natively opened in standard office suites like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, making it challenging for contractors to calculate costs or print tenders without purchasing expensive AVA (Tendering, Awarding, and Billing) software. Furthermore, character encoding issues often arise with German umlauts when moving between systems.
For practical use, contractors typically need to convert .d83 files to XLSX (Excel) to perform calculations and fill in prices. Once priced, the data is often converted to .d84 (Offer) to be sent back. For archiving or simple viewing, converting to PDF is recommended. To ensure compatibility with modern BIM workflows, users may also upgrade these files to the newer GAEB XML format (file.x83).
Convert.Guru analyzes your D83 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted X83, TST, FMA, TABLE and D82 files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our D83 converter.
