Abstract

Interest in technological innovation within the construction industry has grown significantly. By 2023, Blockchain Technology (BCT) has gained considerable popularity and reached its fifth year of scientific discussion. This paper aims to examine the expansion of BCT and evaluate its current environment. At the time of writing, 237 documents were analysed. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining scientometric and thematic analysis with a critical review. The results outline the trends in this research area and categorise thematic BCT applications in the construction industry into eight distinct categories. The paper identifies the challenges associated with BCT deployment and offers guidance on the key factors for its successful application in resolving construction disputes. First to using a scientometric and thematic method, this paper not only reinforces existing literature but also proposes future research directions and practical actions to develop further the critical factors necessary for BCT's success in the construction industry.
