“…When the execution of the contract is requested, the programming codes check the validity of the request. The system has numerous advantages such as faster and more reliable contract execution [16].…”

“…Shojaei reports the large number of legal disputes in civil construction due to the lack of compliance with terms present in the contract such as poorly performed or not performed services, as well as delays in payments and delays in carrying out workflows. Thus, the author sought to solve this problem by integrating the blockchain technology with the BIM model, focused on developing a secure link between the two technologies to make the system viable in order to track the flow of information, illustrated in the execution of a pillar in a building [16].…”

Civil construction faces major problems related to the traceability of its information flows, and among them, monitoring the progress of work in progress is one of the most critical. This is due to the limitations of the tools usually adopted in this industry. This article analyses the application of blockchain technology in the monitoring of construction works, aiming to develop a proposal that fills the gaps in the literature. The main works that implement blockchain technology in construction were selected to support the proposed approach. Finally, a proposal is presented in order to increase the confidence of information flows in civil construction.

“…Case studies were also a popular method used in 27% of documents, which included joint ventures between academia and industry [32]. Literature reviews were used in 26% of the documents, which were typically implemented as a prerequisite to support the development of conceptual frameworks [33], such as with the Brooklyn micro-grid project, which used a literature review to assess the existing environment prior to the implementation of a case study [34]. Statistics was incorporated in 23% of documents, such as with measuring the performance of blockchain-based network systems [35].…”

“…They found that it may be difficult to reuse existing blockchain networks, owing to the one-time nature of construction projects. Li et al [45], McNamara and Sepasgozar [78], and Shojaei et al [46] emphasised that smart contracts are suitable, owing to the high uncertainty and long-term nature of construction projects.…”

Blockchain is regarded as a potential technology for transforming the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, and the number of related publications is increasing rapidly. However, a systematic review of blockchain applications in the AEC industry is lacking. The objective of this study was to review the current status of blockchain applications via a bibliometric analysis combined with a systematic literature review. According to related articles collected from databases, the present status of blockchain was analysed with regard to the distribution of articles over publication years, journals, institutions, countries, cooperation networks between authors, keyword co-occurrence networks, and research methodologies. The results indicated that research on blockchain applications is still relatively new and fragmented with regard to several topics. Five areas of benefit were identified: (i) supply chain management, (ii) contract management, (iii) information management, (iv) stakeholder management, and (v) integration management. On the basis of the technology–organisation–environment framework, nine types of challenges were identified. Future research opportunities were proposed according to the research findings. This study contributes to the current body of knowledge and provides guidelines for further research on blockchain applications in the AEC industry.
