Abstract

Transparency, trust, and efficiency issues have always existed in the construction industry throughout the project lifecycle. Although earlier research studies have introduced blockchain and smart contracts from a conceptual perspective, very few research articles provide practical implementations to meet the needs of construction project management. In this work, we introduce a blockchain-based smart contract framework that facilitates tamper-resistance, automated and secure execution of contracts throughout the lifecycle of construction projects. The author proposes using an integrated system of contract logic and on-chain validation that meets the requirements for real-time payments, compliance checks, and traceability of project activities. This is a lifecycle-focused, scalable, real-world use-case-validated architecture that differs from existing models. The results "showed enhanced trust among stakeholders, reduced delays in parties completing steps, and an improved audit trail, paving the way for transparent and secure construction management in the digital age.
