Abstract

Despite the benefits discussed in the literature associated with Construction 4.0, little is known about the internal sources of competitive advantage (FIVC) related to Construction 4.0 in construction companies. In this sense, the objective is to characterize the FIVC linked to Construction 4.0 in construction companies. To this end, concepts associated with Construction 4.0 were extracted from bibliographic sources, analyzed, categorized, and sorted. In this way, two possible ways to obtain FIVC related to Construction 4.0 were characterized. These paths are linked to the capabilities obtained by the industrialization of construction and the capabilities resulting from resources and strategies related to Industry 4.0.
