    The lack of competitiveness of construction sector and the increased of competition has led contractors to seek new solutions and processes aiming to increase productivity, improve quality, achieve better performance and lower costs, among other objectives. The Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been considered as an important tool of persuasion on those objectives.

    Based on a literature review carried out previously, the aim of this work is to present a summary of the general characterization of the state-of-art on ICT and mobility solutions, highlighting the fact that the ICT improve the access and management of information and knowledge, and the mobility solutions seek essentially to allow real-time access to information, at any place and time, and also the fact that both are commonly used in contexts where a efficient transmission of information and knowledge is considered crucial to success.
