Bau app
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Product: Bau app - a blockchain-powered construction management platform that automates payments, verifies credentials, and enhances project transparency through smart contracts, IoT integration, and digital tokenization.
Company Name: Stabilwerk Bau
Website: http://www.stabilwerk.de/
Industry: Construction / Project Management
Geographic Reach: Primarily Germany, with future global potential
BSV Integration Start Date: 2023
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The construction industry is one of the least efficient across all sectors. Manual processes, delayed or missing payments, and fragmented stakeholder communication are common issues. Subcontractors often struggle with cash flow due to late or denied payments, and over 90% of projects reportedly end up in legal disputes. Traditional systems lack transparency, are difficult to audit, and fail to foster trust among project participants.
WHY BSV
BSV blockchain offers a unique combination of high scalability, low transaction costs, and a stable protocol suited for industrial-scale data logging and automation. Its ability to integrate with IoT sensors and handle smart contracts makes it ideal for managing complex construction workflows. The immutable and transparent nature of BSV ensures trust and traceability—crucial in reducing legal conflicts and improving operational efficiency.
SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE
Overview:
Bau App uses BSV blockchain to digitize and automate key aspects of construction project management, including payment automation, credential verification, dispute resolution, and materials tracking.
Key Components:
Smart Contracts: Used to guarantee payments upon project milestone completion. Once verified by a human (e.g., site manager), funds are released automatically.
Tokenization: Workers’ and companies’ credentials are tokenized once and reused across multiple projects to build trust and eliminate repeated verification.
IoT Integration: Sensors installed on construction sites feed real-time data to the blockchain, serving as objective proof of quality and compliance.
Metaverse Integration: Promotes circular construction by enabling digital tracking and reuse of materials and equipment in virtual environments.
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
Phases of Rollout: Initial development and pilot deployment are underway. Further scaling is planned post-validation.
ERP Integration: Future versions may integrate with construction ERP and supply chain systems for seamless operations.
Stakeholder Onboarding: Focus on subcontractors, project managers, and general contractors. Education around digital credentials and smart contract workflows is ongoing.
OUTCOMES & BUSINESS IMPACT
Quantifiable Improvements:
Reduced disputes through verifiable data from IoT sensors
Guaranteed and timely payments improve subcontractor cash flow
Enhanced trust via tokenized credentials and shared verification
Before vs After Metrics:
From manual tracking to automated blockchain-led verification
From delayed payments to milestone-based instant settlement
Stakeholder Feedback:
Contractors anticipate faster resolution of disputes
Subcontractors welcome the transparency and automation
CHALLENGES & MITIGATIONS
Challenges:
Resistance to new technologies among traditional stakeholders
Integration of blockchain with physical IoT hardware and workflows
Mitigations:
Clear UX and human-verified smart contracts to reduce complexity
Pilot sites used to demonstrate value before full rollout
BSV’s scalability and micro-fee structure ensure cost efficiency
FUTURE VISION
Expansion Plans: Rollout across more construction sites and markets; collaboration with public sector for infrastructure projects.
Additional Functionalities: NFT tagging for equipment and materials, micropayments for real-time labor compensation, AI-driven analytics for predictive maintenance and compliance.
TESTIMONIAL HIGHLIGHTS
“The construction industry is broken, and blockchain is our way to fix it. With Bau App, we guarantee payments, verify credentials, and create an honest system that works for everyone—from general contractors to the smallest subcontractor.” — Maximilian Korkmaz, Founder of Stabilwerk Bau (paraphrased)
