Adoption of blockchain technology has been widely construed as disruptive. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology. It is secure by design because of its cryptography and distributed consensus mechanism, which also offers anonymity, persistence, auditability and resilience. The construction industry adopts a project-based approach and globally has been considered as a fragmented sector, predominantly in unorganised space. Given these characteristics, the technology adoption has been slow. This study looks at the challenges and adopts interpretive structural modelling technique to understand the linkages between these barriers. This study can provide managerial insights into designing strategies for overcoming the barriers for adoption of this disruptive technology.

区块链技术的采用已被广泛理解为破坏性的。区块链是一种分布式账本技术。它的加密和分布式共识机制在设计上是安全的，它还提供匿名性，持久性，可审计性和弹性。建筑行业采用基于项目的方法，并且在全球范围内被视为一个零散的部门，主要是在无组织的空间中。考虑到这些特征，技术的采用一直很慢。这项研究着眼于挑战，并采用解释性结构建模技术来理解这些障碍之间的联系。这项研究可以为设计策略提供管理上的见解，以克服采用这种破坏性技术的障碍。
