The rapid advancement of digital technology has enabled digital transformation across various sectors, including construction. The construction industry has long been associated with conventional, labor-intensive practices that can adversely influence the entire construction process. However, this culture is changing as key players in the sector are progressively identifying and embracing the vast opportunities and associated benefits of using digital tools and technologies to improve the performance and outcomes of the overall project lifecycle. To this end, this study uses the Delphi technique to identify 70 factors that contribute to the digital transformation of the construction industry, categorizing them into five groups: management, design, technology, policy, and infrastructure. Delphi analysis is used to examine the critical success factors for digital transformation identified in the literature and rate their importance during the preconstruction, construction, and facility management phases. Furthermore, this research results in the introduction of the Digital Transformation Level of Readiness Framework (DTRLF) to help facility management firms, clients, organizations, contractors, and designers comprehend the implementation of digital transformation within their respective domains and support decision-makers in establishing action to adapt related technologies in their respected project phases.

“…Many of them emphasize the benefits of blockchain with live data [23], provide a platform for running AI predictions on real-time data, and use blockchain to incentivize accurate forecasts. Wang et al [24] demonstrate the ability of blockchain to track and record data to achieve long-term preservation of records. They developed a behavioral model, followed by the development of a distributed blockchain data structure for storing output documents directly in line with the approaches and strategies.…”

Blockchain technology enables encrypted and secure logging and transactions for information and data. This technology is expected to revolutionize computing in several areas, mainly where centralization is unnatural, and privacy is important. We are driven by circumstance and the complexity of underground utilities, which need measures to record information, secure data, and utilize new technologies with recorded information and store it into a secure digital platform. The platform must be able to deal with different types of files and documents with high efficiency and workability. Current problems due to uncertain information regarding the location of existing underground utilities often leads to striking of such utilities. This study describes blockchain technology and a proposed application to manage infrastructure utilities. The paper compares blockchain with Underground Infrastructure Management (UIM) and One Call System 811, and the potential advantage of this technology to manage underground utilities. Potential integration with blockchain and UIM is described to maximize infrastructure sustainability in underground utilities with respect to security and management. The research presented is focused on exploring the possibilities that blockchain has to offer with regard to protection of underground utilities.

The implementation of blockchain techniques in extensive building work undertakings has encountered multiple obstacles. The barriers encompass a variety of areas including technical, functional, economic, social, and standardization concerns. Notwithstanding the growing recognition of the prospective advantages of blockchain technology among the building industry, there exists a paucity of the literature that delves into the obstacles of implementing blockchain technology in extensive building undertakings. The purpose of this study is to check the difficulties attached with the implementation of blockchain technology in extensive building undertakings. This research study uses a mixed‐method technique that combines structural equation modelling (SEM) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to assess the data gathered from a survey of construction industry experts. The conclusions of this research study recommend that the implementation of blockchain technology in large‐scale building projects is significantly impacted by various barriers, including procedural, technical, functional, standardization, social, and economic factors. This research study reveals that the primary obstacles to standardization, technical integration, and functional implementation are the absence of established norms, barriers to assimilating with current systems, and restricted utilization scenarios, respectively. Furthermore, this research study has revealed that the primary, social, and economic hurdles for implementation of blockchain technology in extensive building projects are stakeholders’ reluctance to change, disputes over ownership, and the challenge of demonstrating a definitive return on investment. The study’s implications indicate that the building industry should establish a uniform methodology for implementing blockchain technology that effectively tackles the barriers brought to light in this study. This study’s results provide great views to different stakeholders in the building industry, such as construction managers, investors, and regulators, regarding the difficulties involved in implementing blockchain technology in extensive building projects. The research implications underscore the necessity for a standardized approach to implement blockchain technology in large‐scale construction projects. This insight is crucial for construction professionals, investors, and regulators, informing strategic decisions to overcome identified barriers and facilitate the seamless integration of blockchain, thereby enhancing efficiency and transparency in the industry.
