Tools and software for working with BC3 files

Applications such as Presto or Arquímedes are used to create, review and exchange estimates, quantities and valuations. Check the exact FIEBDC version each software release reads and writes.

The official FIEBDC BC3 Checker verifies whether estimate or measurement data complies with the current version. This helps distinguish file errors from ERP import issues.

Options include specialist ERPs, adapted general platforms — such as Odoo adapted for construction — and custom integrations. Compare them with a real case.

• Real import and export
• Budget versions without overwriting earlier ones
• Purchases linked to work items
• Forecast, committed and actual cost
• Client and subcontract valuations
• Variations, approvals and invoicing

Evaluate them with the same file. For reading, test navigation and search; for editing, quantities and breakdowns; for integration, exports and data access. Confirm the required edition and licence with the provider rather than assuming every feature is included.

Note software versions, retained data, warnings and necessary manual corrections. If you share the result, include an export and an opening test in the receiving program. Choose based on the complete workflow.
