ORCA AVA, developed by Orca Software GmbH, is a professional solution for end-to-end construction cost management and procurement. It streamlines the complete AVA workflow—cost planning, tendering, awarding, and billing—so project teams can move from early estimates to final accounts with clarity and control.
With ORCA AVA, you can create structured specifications and bills of quantities, issue tenders, compare bids objectively, award contracts, manage change orders, track progress, certify invoices, and keep budgets and commitments up to date. Model-based workflows are supported through IFC-based quantity takeoff and 5D BIM integration, linking model elements to specification items for transparent, traceable quantities.
The software adheres to key industry standards in German-speaking markets, including GAEB DA XML for data exchange and DIN 276 for cost structuring, and it integrates with STLB-Bau. Extensive libraries, templates, and price databases help standardize deliverables and improve consistency, while robust reporting provides insight at every stage.
Designed for collaboration, ORCA AVA supports multi-user access with role-based permissions, versioning, and auditability. Flexible import and export options—such as GAEB and Excel—connect it to common office and CAD/BIM tools via IFC. The result is more accurate quantities, compliant tenders, transparent costs, and a smoother path from design to delivery. more
