Extract text from Construction and genealogy files (GW)
To convert GW Data files to another format, you need Glodon or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Construction Project Data File" file type, you need software like Glodon or a similar tool.
The .GW file format is primarily used by Glodon (Guanglianda), a leading construction engineering and project management software suite. These files store complex construction project data, including cost estimations, building models, and bidding information. Alternatively, it can function as a SEP2__SUREXML document read by SEP Reader, or less commonly, as a source file for the GeneWeb genealogy software created by Daniel de Rauglaudre.
The main disadvantage of .GW files is their highly proprietary nature. Glodon files lock users into their specific ecosystem. They require expensive, specialized software to open, and they are not natively supported by web browsers or standard text editors. Users typically need to convert .GW files to standard formats like PDF, XLSX, or XML to share cost estimations or project data with stakeholders who do not own Glodon licenses.
Converting directly is notoriously difficult outside of the original application. Standard online converters fail because the internal structure is closed and undocumented. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru can still help. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as readable XML code - viewing or extracting data may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GW file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MW, TWH, W, TW and PJ files.
If you want to convert GW file to MW, TWH, W, TW or PJ, you can use Glodon or similar software from the "Construction Project Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to GW, try Glodon or another comparable tool in the "Construction Project Data Storage" category.
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 GW converter.
