The world is sensitive to unbridled consumption that impacts on sustainability. In this sense many studies are being conducted globally, seeking to comprehend how societies develop in terms of sustainability. Eco-innovation has proved to be a widely researched approach in academy, aimed to understand the sustainable innovations as an alternative to the economic development of societies. Some theories have been widely used for the construction of a theoretical framework in this area. Among them, sociotechnical theory and the theory of social practices. The general objective of this study was to understand how the eco-innovation practices system was developed in the process of sociotechnical transition to sustainability in a construction of buildings located in Curitiba, from 2010 to 2017, since the civil construction sector is relevant in this context. In order to achieve this objective, initially, the fundamental aspects of the eco-innovation approach were reviewed, based on sociotechnical theory and the theory of social practices, through the intersection matrix of Shove (2003) that analyzes the intersection points between the multilevel perspective and the theory of social practices. This analysis allowed the comprehension of how ecoinnovation practices are developed, considering points that delay or stimulate the transition to sustainability. It was a qualitative research, with a data collection that involved the accomplishment of 11 interviews in depth with relevant actors of the construction company and the sector, non-participant observation, participation in events and technical visits, totalizing 2.520 minutes of investigation, plus the documentary analysis of 25 documents. The results showed that there are many ecoinnovation practices taking place in the niche, highlighting the focus of the constructor case study. The regime is highly regulated, with infrastructure problems. The landscape presents a social reality sensitive to the theme, within a more traditional construction sector. It was observed intersections with niche in the constructor, regime and landscape, many encouraging sustainability and others slowing it down - highlighting the fact that those which encourage it are more organized in practices, and the ones that slow it down, find strong barriers in the regime.
