Abstract
Construction startups offer to optimize services in construction through innovation, by raising the levels of productivity and quality through new technologies or their application. In Brazil these companies are known as Construtechs or Proptechs, but publications provide no details on the type of innovations they offer in their services. Thus, this paper provides an innovation profile of services offered by Brazilian construction startups. To this end, a document and bibliographic review was conducted, where data was gathered initially based on a list published by a Brazilian venture capital company in 2020. This was then expanded by extracting information from the websites of 257 firms on the list. From the information available on 222 Construtechs, results shows that most of the companies offer organization and management services (36%), through digital platforms that improve the flow of information (75%) and innovate the way services are performed in the client companies, that is, the process (73%). In addition, it was identified that Brazilian Construtechs mostly offer services at the basic technological level and that only 33 companies (15%) are related to Construction 4.0. This paper provides a profile of Brazilian Construtechs and their service innovation opportunities, mainly associated with Construction 4.0.
