This article presents an analytical work on the soil as a material for construction, seeking to analyze and evaluate its acceptance and implementation in the construction sector, in the configuration of the city of Medellin, both from the perspective of the academy as well as from the professional field. The research was developed through a mixed, longitudinal approach, with two cross-sectional cuts. The first one in 2018 and the second in 2022, which allows a comparison of the progress from one year to the next in terms of the perception that of construction with soil in the city. The information was obtained through three phases, the first, by documentary search, the second, through fieldwork with the application of interviews in institutions of higher education, both in undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and the third one, with the implementation of surveys to construction companies. The development of the research resulted in an advance regarding the acceptance of the soil in the construction sector, however, a greater strengthening of the subject is still necessary to acquire a better positioning.
