TruView is an innovative platform built on the Next.js framework that leverages blockchain technology to revolutionize the construction industry by integrating with Building Information Modeling (BIM). This integration enhances transparency, security, and efficiency in construction projects by ensuring that all project documentation and models are immutable, traceable, and accessible to authorized stakeholders. The platform aims to resolve common issues like disputes, data integrity, and document management, making construction processes smoother and more reliable.
- Blockchain Integration: All project documents and BIM models are stored on the blockchain, ensuring immutability and traceability.
- Decentralized Document Management: Securely manage and access project documents, including contracts, designs, and revisions, through a decentralized system.
- Dispute Resolution: Utilize smart contracts to automate and secure dispute resolution processes, reducing the time and cost associated with traditional methods.
- Transparency and Audit Trails: Every transaction and change is logged on the blockchain, providing a transparent and auditable trail of activities.
- InterPlanetary File System (IPFS): Large BIM models are stored off-chain in IPFS, with only the hash stored on the blockchain, ensuring data integrity and accessibility without burdening the blockchain.
- User-Friendly Interface: Built with React and Tailwind CSS, the platform offers an intuitive interface for easy navigation and interaction.
- Frontend: Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS
- Backend: Node.js, Firebase
- Smart Contracts: Solidity, Foundry
- File Storage: IPFS
- Node.js (v22.5.1)
- npm
- Foundry for smart contract development
- IPFS setup for file storage
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/alfarseniko/truView2.0.git cd truView2.0 - Install dependencies::
npm install
- Run the application on local host::
npm run dev
- Uploading Documents: Authorized users can upload project documents and BIM models, which are then stored securely on the IPFS with the corresponding hash stored on the blockchain.
- Viewing Projects: Users can view all the documents and models associated with a project, track changes, and view the audit trail.
- Dispute Resolution: In the case of a dispute, the relevant smart contract can be triggered to resolve the issue according to predefined rules.
