This paper reports the development process of a specifc application for construction industry from its conception to the launch of the Minimum Viable Product, MVP. This Course Conclusion Paper project has been approved in a startup aceleration program, Academic Working Capital AWC, which purpose is to give intellectually and financial support to technology based projects. The participation in the startup acceleration program enabled the introduction of problem, solution and market testing tools. Market researchs has been done with several construction industry professionals through online form, in addition to phone and face-to-face interviews. Based on interviews analysis, problem-solution and solution-market fit were performed throught the development and experimentation of prototypes, with changes in its direction as needed. The Build-Measure-Learn loop was used as general methodology of this paper because all decisions were based on data from interactions with construction industry representatives. The final result of this paper is a Minimum Viable Product wich aims to connect the ends of the construction industry chain, from planning to master builder on construction site, with the value proposition of reducing the operation hours spent by the engineer for service front choices and managing day-to-day information on integrated basis.
