Hype or Hope: Blockchain in Construction
Listen now
Description
Do we need #blockchain in #construction? "No," says Daniel Hall. Not at least for automation of tasks. Erika sat down to speak to Daniel Hall - Assistant Professor of Innovative and Industrial Construction at the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering of ETH Zürich. The overarching theme of his research is to enhance governance, productivity, and innovation in construction projects through a transformation from fragmented project delivery methods to new organizational models that integrate the supply chain of the vertically and horizontally fragmented construction industry. His work finds that in order to foster more innovation in products and processes, the #AEC industry must embrace new technologies, governance strategies, and organizational models. His current research interests include Industrialized Construction, Governance of Integrated Project Delivery, Blockchain in Construction, Adoption of Systemic Innovations, Industry 4.0, and Entrepreneurship in AEC.
