Identifies recent challenges facing the construction industry and recognises current attempts of exploring distributed ledger technology (DTL) as part of the solution to some of these challenges.  Performs a systematic review of DLT uses in the built environment and construction industry and identifies seven distinct areas of applications.  Introduces an extended socio-technical framework for implementation of DLT into the construction industry including two conceptual models: the DLT Four-Dimensional Model, and the DLT Actors Model.  Compiles an extensive list of challenges and opportunities presented by DLT across the four dimensions (technical, process, policy, social) to offer a state-of-the-art review of its current state.  Presents a decision support tool to appraise the suitability of use cases for DLT applications and demonstrates it with three use cases.
