"Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that provides a secure and transparent way to store and share information. It has gained significant attention in the construction industry due to its potential to streamline processes and improve collaboration between stakeholders. The use of blockchain in construction began with using smart contracts to automate payment processes, and over time the use has expanded to include supply chain management, project management, and document control. Blockchain technology ensures that all parties have access to the same information in real time, reducing the risk of errors and misunderstandings. Another important aspect of blockchain in construction is the potential to improve sustainability. Blockchain can be used to track materials and products, and companies can ensure that materials are ethically sourced"-- Provided by publisher.
