Digital transformation in construction: cutting-edge strategies in building materials supply chains

Building materials’ supply chain is undergoing a significant digital transformation, driven by technological advancements and the need for lean communication among clients, companies, subcontractors, and suppliers, leading to legal disputes, cost overruns, and delays in contract finalization. Moreover, innovative processes and tools must ensure performance quality of building technologies and materials, meeting the requirements of both clients and regulatory standards. In this context, the research seeks to explore the implementation of innovative approaches in the era of digital transition in construction. The goal is to provide comprehensive assistance to all parties involved in the life cycle of building design with several benefits, including remote consultation of technical specifications of materials and technologies, and physical and legal traceability facilitated by a distributed and immutable ledger.
