Blockchain in Construction: Material Traceability and Work Certification

The Challenges of Construction

The construction industry faces chronic problems: fraud in material quality, contractual disputes, fragmented documentation, and lack of traceability. When a building shows defects years later, tracing the origin is nearly impossible. Blockchain technology offers transparency and traceability from the first brick to final delivery.

How Does Blockchain Work in Construction?

Blockchain records the entire lifecycle of construction:

  • Materials: Origin, quality certificates, tests, batches
  • Processes: Construction phases, inspections, incidents
  • Certifications: Regulatory approvals, licenses, permits
  • Payments: Work certifications, fund releases
  • Integrated BIM: Digital model linked to verifiable real data

Material Traceability

Blockchain ensures material quality:

  • Verifiable origin of steel, concrete, installations
  • Immutable test certificates
  • Detection of non-compliant materials
  • Clear accountability in case of defects

Smart Contracts for Payments

The automation of payments through smart contracts:

  • Automatic release upon milestone completion
  • Reduction of contractual disputes
  • Improved cash flow for subcontractors
  • Total transparency in certifications

Verifiable Digital Twin

Blockchain complements BIM by creating:

  • Immutable history of the entire construction process
  • Digital passport of the building for its lifespan
  • Verifiable information for future maintenance
  • Valuation based on real data for transactions
