The document is the first in a series of white papers that explore the impact of blockchain in construction financing and procurement. Originally intended to cover both domains, the complexity of the subject prompted a decision to conduct a topic analysis to ensure a precise definition and inform potential technological applications. The paper reviews current advancements in blockchain technology concerning construction smart contracts and evaluates their influence on cash flow models and procurement methods. Its objective is to gather evidence for future policy and regulatory considerations in collaboration with the British Parliament.

Targeting business strategists, policymakers and providers, this second white paper discusses complexities, disruptions, and contradictions associated with Building Information Modelling (BIM) throughout the construction total lifecycle. It explores future policy and compliance opportunities by examining advancements in BIM, construction automation, and the potential role of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in the digital transformation of the construction industry. The document acknowledges the growing concerns about cybersecurity in the sector.

The third white paper by the Construction Blockchain Consortium focuses on the intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain technology, and smart environments. This paper explores the potential implications and benefits of integrating IoT and blockchain in creating intelligent and interconnected environments. It examines how these technologies can enhance data security, efficiency, and automation in various sectors such as construction, infrastructure, and urban planning. The CBC aims to gather insights from leading experts in these fields to contribute to this comprehensive exploration of IoT, blockchain, and their impact on smart environments.
