Abstract Construction is a critical business that contributes greatly to a country’s economic development. There is an increasing need for greater quality, more safety, and project completion on schedule. The world’s fast shift from manual to digital processes is boosting the industry. This article outlines research into where and how this technology may be used in the construction sector. In this study, a literature review was conducted to identify the potential of blockchain applications in the construction industry. Examples of such technologies include smart contracts, BIM, Smart City, supply chain management, real estate management, precast construction, equipment leasing, document file sharing, asset management, construction management, payment management, and trash management. A scientometric study was carried out to better understand the present level of blockchain application in the construction business. Documents published in the Scopus and Web of Science databases between 2011 and 2024 were considered for the study. Scientistometric analysis identifies the most significant and prolific authors, articles, and the development of blockchain in the construction industry. More in-depth study is needed in the near future to develop real-world, on-the-spot solutions for the construction industry. The research reviewed 889 articles published between 2011 and 2024 and conducted a qualitative content analysis. The study’s purpose is to look at how this technology may be used in the building industry. Future studies might concentrate on conducting case studies of real-world blockchain uses in building projects. This paper identifies and analyzes research gaps concerning the use of blockchain technology in civil engineering. © 2024; Los autores.
