Providing a safer and more effective built environment


Challenge
  • In today’s construction industry value chain, there are huge pressures on all participants, resulting in impacts ranging from regulatory fines to huge overruns due to supply chain disruptions
  • There are also big problems with rework, misrepresentation and fraud
  • Also, the ultimate issue with poor quality in the construction sector is that it can kill people
Solution
  • A digital, real-time, immutable ‘golden thread’ of information from the start of planning a built asset, all the way through its occupation, to the time it’s demolished
  • Every single decision made by multiple parties is recorded – from clients to government to construction companies, architecture firms, operators and owners of the buildings and assets
  • Certchain’s DLT solution covers all these attributes
Why Corda?
  • Public blockchain wouldn’t enable full control of who uses the system and accesses the data flowing through it
  • Data confidentiality is key because Certchain will go into highly sensitive areas like nuclear
  • Certchain uses a concept of ‘regional networks’ that have authority over different elements of the data
  • Corda was chosen as it works on a need-to-know basis, and we can segregate the verifications

Results
  • Instant access to comprehensive, digitized, and evidential information about built assets.
  • increased quality and safety of built assets.
  • Improved compliance, eliminated risks and reduced costs.
