### Securing Reliability and Share of Information Using Blockchain Technology  
Blockchain, as a decentralizing technology, can enhance the reliability and efficiency of information storage and management by setting up a trust protocol that can implement an open data sharing network [28]. In addition to cryptocurrency, blockchain technology is used in various applications. In the construction industry, it is mainly studied to improve transparency, scalability, and security. [PERSON] et al. employed blockchain technology using RFID tags. It can be observed when creating a single database where suppliers and customers of ready-mixed concrete can receive actual and reliable data on turnover, placing offers, finding customers, optimizing the production, and using the ready-mixed concrete [29]. [PERSON] et al., proposed a methodology to automate construction payments by formalizing smart contracts and applying blockchain technology. This framework also addresses the conditions required for security in construction projects, such as confidentiality and information integrity, in multi-party environments [30]. [PERSON] et al. proposed a novel BIM system model called bc-BIM to address information security in mobile cloud architectures. In particular, bc-BIM is proposed to facilitate BIM data audits for historical modifications using blockchain in the mobile cloud with big data sharing. It guarantees tracing and authentication and prevents interference with historical \begin{table}
