Blockchain-Based Lifecycle Approach towards a Secure Building Information Modelling (BIM) Workflow
Abstract
Data safety concerns are critical during the whole lifecycle of any built asset from the design stage until destruction. Information security in Building Information Modeling (BIM) enabled projects represents a key factor for the whole process success. Unsuitable distribution of sensitive information may cause financial loss, lack of trust and even physical security threats. This paper would propose a novel solution to secure BIM workflow through a Blockchain technology-based lifecycle approach. The aim in this solution is to integrate a blockchain-based lifecycle management platform with BIM software. The interactions and system transactions between the two entities will be managed by distributed ledger technology and smart contracts. This will ensure workflow's security by strengthening the transparency, traceability and securing information exchange. 2022 IEEE.
