What is it about?
The construction industry has great prominence for the world economy, and it is expected that with the use of the innovative technologies and approaches of Industry 4.0, the new industrial paradigm, construction can reach superior levels of productivity, but its implementation is a critical process. This study develops a model to assess the level of use of Industry 4.0 technologies (readiness model) and its most relevant applications by companies in the construction sector.

Why is it important?
The Digital Advancement Within CoNstruction (DAWN) readiness model was proposed, showing that: (1) among the 13 evaluated technologies of Industry 4.0 and their applications, the Brazilian construction companies had a low level of utilization; (2) both high and middle-income companies presented this low level of use; (3) some technologies with a greater number of scientific publications were less used in practice in the Brazilian construction.
Perspectives
This paper presents a readiness model to assess the level of use of Industry 4.0 technologies and their most relevant applications in the construction industry in countries with an economy similar to Brazil’s, making it possible to measure the level of adoption of these technologies.
