The Madrid College of Architects will use blockchain to optimize projects

The official panel of bulk auditors and technical architects from Madrid (COAATM) has signed an agreement with Signeblock, a company that offers digitization services via blockchain.

On May 13, the Singe Group, the organization behind Signeblock, published on its website that it had signed a national agreement. Blockchain gives the COAATM (acronym of the college) responsible declarations, activity licenses and other services. The tools used for this new system have already been tested. After the agreement was signed, the pilot phase of the system was set.

The COOAATM wants to optimize the times and processes of administrative procedures that an engineering or architecture project has to go through. The College of Quantity Surveyors – construction engineers – and architects believe that using blockchain enables them to digitally identify digital processes, shorten deadlines, automate and digitize them. Luis Gil-Delgado, executive director of the College of Architects, said:

Architects and surveyors in Madrid have always opted for the application of new technologies in the construction sector to enable agreements like these to escalate the use of these technologies to capacity and adapt the construction process to the needs of the agents involved.
