What is an ONLV file?

ONLV files mostly belong to XML Editor.

The ONLV file is an XML document that holds construction cost data. It is designed to store the standardized bill of quantities used in Austrian construction projects.

Key Details summarized by FilExt.com:

XML Based: The file uses XML structure, which makes it easy to share and process in various systems.

Austrian Standards: It follows the guidelines of the Austrian Standard Bill of Quantities.

Construction Data: The file includes detailed itemized cost and quantity information for construction projects.

Software and Viewing:
You can open this file with any XML editor or text editor. Specialized construction cost software, like Dangl.Oenorm or A2063 LV-Editor, may offer enhanced features. For more details, check out Dangl.IT or visit Austrian Standards.

How It Works:
The XML structure organizes construction cost items and quantities in a clear format. This makes it possible to integrate with other building and cost estimation tools. Advanced users might transform these files using XSLT to generate tailored reports.

Usage Tips:

Use a dedicated XML viewer for better readability.

Validate the file against the appropriate XML schema if editing.

Check if your construction management tool supports the ONLV format.

How do you open ONLV files?

You need a suitable software like XML Editor to open an ONLV file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your ONLV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ONLV file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert ONLV files:

XML Editor
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. ONLV files are often referred to as XML Editor data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Dangl.Oenorm, A2063 LV-Editor
The *.ONLV file extension stands for "ÖNORM Leistungsverzeichnis" which translates to "Austrian Standard Bill of Quantities". These files are primarily used in the Austrian construction industry for representing structured data related to construction projects, such as bills of quantities, cost estimations, and project specifications. The internal structure of *.ONLV files is based on the XML format, ensuring standardized data exchange between different software applications used in the construction process. These files are essential for efficient cost management, project planning, and collaboration among stakeholders in Austrian construction projects. This file format is classified as Construction Cost Estimation and Project Management.

ONLV file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our examination of the ONLV files comes to the following conclusion:

The ONLV extension is quite commonly used. The file itself is mainly used by one program with a specific format. The two most common formats are as follows:

99% of all ONLV files are using the well-known XML file format to store the data. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. A typical file size is 170 KB. This file type is new and state-of-the-art. The keywords onlv xmlns, erstelltam, <metadaten>, dateiname, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>, http://www.oenorm.at/schema/A2063/2021-03-01 and http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance are typical for these files. These files can be linked to hkls, leistungsverzeichnis, datentr, ausschreibung, datenbestand, fenster, wien, sanierung and elektro.

All other ONLV files (1%) have no uniform format. The category is stahlbau, neubau, umbau, maler, sonnenschutz, salzburg, beilage, holzbau, hotel or teil. If you want to find out which format your ONLV file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .onlv file to analyze".

How to solve problems with ONLV files

Associate the ONLV file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open xml documents. Because only the current version supports the latest ONLV file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available XML Editor update.
To make sure that your ONLV file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
