	KPMG’s head of blockchain services for the Asia Pacific said at the time of the launch “You could have two buildings, both safe to live in and compliant, that might have completely different ratings due to the materials and the participants who did the work and the checks done. The Building Trustworthy Indicator is a global-first platform that will create a clear distinction between compliant, resilient buildings and non-compliant problematic buildings... By helping regulators focus on the riskiest players in the building and construction industry, and enabling insurers and financiers to offer innovative products to reward the most trustworthy players, we can avoid some of the issues that have plagued the construction industry both in NSW and across Australia.”		KPMG’s head of blockchain services for the Asia Pacific said at the time of the launch “You could have two buildings, both safe to live in and compliant, that might have completely different ratings due to the materials and the participants who did the work and the checks done.
