A qualitative systematic review was conducted to gather the challenges of the existing payment system followed by an interview with construction contract administration professionals. The findings reveal that to minimize existing payment issues among contracting parties, the adoption of self-executing contracts as well as better interpretation of contract conditions/terms at the outset of contract execution are required. The paper concludes that smart contract payment system can significantly abate payment related-issues and is more suitable for adoption in a technologically-enabled environment.</p> ER -
