1. A method for remotely assuring the quality and transportation of offsite construction components, comprising the steps of:

placing a scannable code on the module at a production stage, said code containing identity information about the module;

scanning the code at a production hold point to obtain the identity information;

uploading the identity information to a blockchain data storage facility for storage;

allowing access to the identity information stored in the blockchain data storage facility to relevant parties and remotely inspecting the module to verify its quality;

generating one of a passed verified message and a failed verification message;

delivering the module to a transportation facility for transport on the basis of a passed verified message;

reworking or discarding the module on the basis of a failed verification message;

at the start of transport, matching a serial number of the module to the code;

during transport continuously collecting real-time location information about the module while it is in motion and uploading it to blockchain data storage facility; and

allowing access to the location information stored in the blockchain data storage to relevant parties for the purpose of remotely understanding the transportation situation of the module.
