Abstract: This paper explores the concept of circular economy within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries. It examines the evolution of the circular economy framework from the traditional 4R model to more expansive 9R and 10R iterations. The study investigates the challenges and opportunities in implementing circular economy principles in Nigeria's AEC sector, considering its significant contribution to the country's GDP and potential for sustainable economic development. By analysing the relationship between construction activities and economic growth, this research aims to provide insights into the transformative potential of circular economy practices in AEC industry and its broader implications for national development.
