Abstract The digitalisation of the construction industry through revolutionary innovations, such as blockchain and intelligent contracts (iContracts), is becoming increasingly researched. However, a gap in current literature exists on the identification of contributing factors that will influence successful iContract development and adoption. This study aims to identify key considerations for iContracts in order to develop a novel theoretical adoption model and offer an agenda of six research directions for future iContract development. Through systematic analysis, forty-six key papers were identified with further thematic analysis highlighting the iContract technology's taxonomy. Content analysis then identified nine key themes of relevant considerations, barriers and contributing factors informing the development of the Tri-Dimensional iContract model. This study contributes to the iContract body of knowledge by identifying key considerations for the development and successful adoption of the iContract concept while offering a practical lens to direct future industry adoption and inform the development of iContract technologies.

建筑行业采用智能合约：概念开发

摘要 通过区块链和智能合约 (iContracts) 等革命性创新对建筑行业进行数字化的研究越来越多。然而，当前文献在确定影响 iContract 成功开发和采用的促成因素方面存在差距。本研究旨在确定 iContracts 的关键考虑因素，以开发一种新颖的理论采用模型，并为未来 iContract 开发提供六个研究方向的议程。通过系统分析，确定了 46 篇重点论文，并进一步进行了主题分析，突出了 iContract 技术的分类。内容分析然后确定了相关考虑的九个关键主题，影响三维 iContract 模型开发的障碍和影响因素。本研究通过确定开发和成功采用 iContract 概念的关键考虑因素，同时提供指导未来行业采用的实用视角，并为 iContract 技术的发展提供信息，从而为 iContract 知识体系做出贡献。
