Monitoring of Organizational, Technological and Environmental Solutions in Construction with Blockchain Technologies

Abstract

Abstract The paper considers the relevance of blockchain technology in the field of construction, highlighting that the expansion of information modelling through integration of BIM and blockchain technology opens up new opportunities not only for making beneficial construction agreements, but also for arranging comprehensive monitoring of construction progress. It also argues that the number of blockchains depends on the selected option of devising organizational and technological solutions for any type of construction. The paper offers an example of a specific project with a brief description of the construction technology employed therein and provides an interconnection diagram of organizational, technological and environmental blockchains. Novelty of the paper consists in the fact that it suggests considering technology and work organization blockchains as elements inseparable from environmental blockchains. The theoretic importance of the work stems from the fact that it may serve as the basis for developing the theory and general methodology for creating construction blockchain technology and its integration with BIM technology.
