Practical Benefits

CONTINUED FOCUS ON FIRE
Blockchain has multiple applications in our sectorOur initial focus is on Fire and Fire Stopping
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Record Keeping• In efficient process to validate installation• Poor record keeping, often hard to retrieve.
Payments• The current valuation process lacks trust.
Quality• Potentially building non-compliance leading
to poor customer/industry confidence.
The Hackitt Review (2018) cites poor record keeping and change control as precursors for building safety non-compliance.
It has called for obligating the creation of digital records throughout the design and construction of projects, and for records to be part of the regulatory oversight process throughout a buildings occupied lifecycle
The Golden Thread – Digital
78. Building a Safer Future’s analysis of the construction process makes very clear the need to ensure information is current and accessible at all times. Construction projects are complex, as is the consequent generation of information that may happen over many months that often does not result in useful and usable information.
80. The case is well made that the only feasible way of ensuring that this information is broughttogether is by means of digital techniques.
The Golden Thread – Verification
82. Digitisation provides the information, the communication channels, the feedback and means of verification.
The golden thread concerns the recording of information and making that accessible for the wide range of interested parties that may need it.
It can provide both the means of verifying competence.
It creates reference points that once established cad can be relied on as a single version of the truth. Digital techniques are integral to ensuring that competence is supported, verified and recorded.
The Golden Thread – INFORMATION LAW
476. Of essential importance is the need to address the lack of necessary building information, (even where already legally required). this information should be maintained within a safety case, with a structure mandated in law.
548. It is imperative that contractors raise their game and take responsibility for quality. Quality needs to move further up the priority list from where it resides at present.
RESPONSIBILITIES - CUSTOMERSThe responsible person must:
• Carry out and maintain a fire risk assessment
• Communicate any risks you’ve identified
• Put in place, and maintain, appropriate fire safety measures
• Plan for an emergency
• Provide information, fire safety instruction and training
What - The person carrying out the work shall give fire safety information to the responsible person not later than the date of completion of the work.
Why - to ensure that the person responsible for the building has sufficient information relating to fire safety to enable them to manage the building effectively.
RESPONSIBILITIES – MAIN CONTRACTORS
RESPONSIBILITIES – MAIN CONTRACTORS
RESPONSIBILITIES - SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERSTo undertake compliant works that are inline with the agreed design and specification.
• Drawings and specification• Competency• QD Checklists/Photographs• Installer records• Independent inspections• Product details• Operating instructions• Maintenance schedules• Commissioning information• Product warranties
PRODUCT FIRE COMPLIANCE RECORDS
PRODUCT FIRE COMPLIANCE RECORDS
• Intumescent Paint• Fire door sets• Linear Gap Seals• Putty Pads• Electrical Compartments • Fire-rated Partitions• Suspended ceilings• Fire-rated glazed partitions• Fire Dampers• Smoke Dampers
• Fire-resisting ductwork• Fire Stopping • Fire Barriers• Cavity Barriers• Fire retardant coatings • Fire Rated Moveable Walls• Fire Curtains (Non-Active)• Lift Installation • Fire / smoke alarms• AOV System
COLLATION OF REGULATION 38 INFORMATIONProblems and risks with current process• Discontinuous process
• Often collated at the end of a project
• Burdensome administration task
• Risk of information not being checked for technical correctness and
completeness
• Some products or details may differ from the original intent
• Not all electronic media
• Future retrieval of information can be problematic
BLOCKCHAIN A BETTER WAY?
THE CONCEPT
• Develop a proof of concept in collaboration with the partners involved to address Valuation, Payment and Information collation.
• Make the platform accessible for all relevant passive fire protection subcontractors at the point of procurement.
• Have an agreed payment schedule be set up with every order with the information required clearly identified to be uploaded along with each payment application, such as:
Operatives and their competenciesMaterials usedDelivery TicketsManuals and technical data
Updated progress positionInstallation photographsInstallation checklistsCommissioning certificates

BENEFITS - SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERS
• Generate own monthly valuations.• Spread the burden of collating information over the
life of a project.• Increased efficiency.• Reduced confrontation.• Creation of project records.• Greater transparency and maintain the golden
thread.
BENEFITS – MAIN CONTRACTORS
• Reduce the time associated with processing monthly valuations.
• Creation of immutable digital records.• Greater ability to undertake technical checks of
information provided to substantiate payments.• Spread the burden of collating information over
the life of a project.• Remote valuations.• Increased productivity.• Maintain the golden thread.
BENEFITS – CUSTOMERS• Be part of the blockchain.• Use to substantiate monthly valuations to main contractors• Greater installation confidence.• Robust transparent process.• Access to a greater detail of fire safety information.• Increased efficiency.• Ability to retrieve hosted digital information. • Maintain the golden thread.
Re-write the way that a construction project is administered, and change the process.
THE OPPORTUNITY
There are many other possible areas of functionality where a blockchain/DLT could add benefits:
• Sustainability• Health & Safety• Product manufacturers• Delivery Tracking and chain of custody• Building in use (asset management)• Customers valuations of main contractors work
