Blockchain & Digital Design with Tim Dufault of CONCERT
In this episode Robert and J.J. discuss with Tim Dufault, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer with CONCERT, how design and construction can utilize Blockchain to facilitate digital delivery and authentication of construction documents.
He believes that real collaboration will only happen when each member of the team can understand and control how what they create is used.
Anyone that works within the built environment will “geek out” on our discussion of Blockchain, Web3, BIM, and Digital Design.
Concert is a digital design data platform built on Blockchain and focused on creating a authenticating, authorizing, and recording the authorship of digital design data to facilitate digital delivery in design and construction.
The platform creates a permanent record of the author of any form of digital design or construction information along with the capability to authorize how the information should be used and to certify to and sign it with professional credentials.
Concert is the first Web3 platform for design and construction, empowering the author to own their digital data and determine under their own terms who can use that data and for what purpose.
Concert is the foundation for realizing real digital collaboration and delivery for the built environment.
Tim Dufault is the co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) for Concert and is responsible for bringing the technology to design and construction professionals across the country.
