  This paper outlines why and how blockchain can digitally support and evolve
the governance of collaborative project deliveries, such as integrated project
deliveries (IPDs), to provide the foundation for novel and disruptive forms of
organizational collaboration in the construction industry. Previous work has
conceptualized IPDs as a common pool resource (CPR) scenario, where shared
resources are collectively governed. Through the use of blockchain and smart
contracts for trustworthy peer-to-peer transactions and execution logic,
Ostrom's design principles can be digitally encoded to scale CPR scenarios.
Building on the identified connections, the paper 1) synthesizes fourteen
blockchain-based mechanisms to govern CPRs, 2) identifies twenty-two
applications of these mechanisms to govern IPDs, and 3) introduces a
conceptualization of the above relationships towards a holistic understanding
of collaborative project deliveries on the crypto commons for novel collective
organization of construction project delivery between both humans and machines.
