The Civil Construction Industry (CCI) has been searching for sustainable alternatives for its processes and products, focusing on developing cleaner mechanisms that minimize environmental impact. This work aims to identify gaps in public policies related to the CCI sector that hinder the development of eco-innovations. The methodology was based on a patent search to identify the types of ICC eco-innovations, as well as a survey of related public policies that, when analyzed together, allowed an understanding of the green development of the sector. The results point to the low number of green patents registered along with the incipience of policies that encourage green production and development in this sector. From the findings, it is pointed out perspectives for the transformation process for the CCI directed related to the buildings sector, highlighting the importance of developing systemic actions involving the agents of the constructive chain, public authorities, and society.
