Abstract
System and method for managing a construction project with an immutable record of construction documents and executing each of the construction documents using live data and tracking codes are provided. The system comprises an attribute extraction module, a blockchain network, a tracking code generator, and a data repository. The attribute extraction module is configured to extract one or more pertinent information about the construction document to obtain attributes of the construction document. The blockchain network distributes and decentralizes the construction documents to keep an originated non-corruptible copy of the construction documents, accessible by a tracking code. The data repository is a separated database isolated from the blockchain network for performing real-time management of the tracking code and the live data. The tracking code can be imprinted on the construction document for direct access to the corresponding electronic copy.
