The construction sector is now experiencing a significant transformation, primarily motivated by the need to enhance operational efficiency and promote sustainable practices. emergence of blockchain technology has been seen as disruptive factor that potential fundamentally transform field supply chain management within industry. Nevertheless, extent which this revolutionized yet be extensively investigated. primary objective study address existing research void examining impact on enhancing capabilities building chains. This employs thorough examination empirical case studies survey conducted among 136 industry professionals explore many functions in augmenting efficiency, transparency, traceability constructs were found having implementation for chains are, Transparency Traceability (β = 0.202, ρ 0.000, t 42.560), Smart Contracts Automation 0.232, 62.596), Quality Assurance Compliance 0.230, 64.704), Dispute Resolution Accountability 0.235, 79.533), Supplier Management Verification 0.251, 49.404).
