Abstract— Information safety in BIM enabled projects represents a key factor for the whole process success. Data security concerns are critical during the entire lifecycle of any built asset from design until demolition. Unsuitable distribution of sensitive information may cause financial loss, lack of trust and even physical security threats. This paper highlights through a literature review the integration’s potentiality of Blockchain technology within BIM enabled projects that would tackle those security issues and would provide more trust and reliability. This paper also highlights some of the advantages offered by the contribution of distributed ledger technology and smart contracts to the digitalization and digital transformation of the AEC-FM sector in terms of procurement, payment and supply chain management.
