- This review investigates the concept of circular economy, its benefits to cost within the construction industry in Nigeria. A systematic literature review was conducted focusing on the benefits to cost in a circular economy of the construction industry. The key findings from the review are the three pillars of circular economy sustainability (economic, environmental and social) benefits and how the add value directly to the construction industry in the worldwide perspective and how it can potentially add value to the Nigerian construction industry, when wholly applied and enforced by policymaker, such as the government. The application of the concept of circular economy thinking in construction, which is at its infant stage in most developing countries such as Nigeria, has been mainly limited to construction waste minimisation and recycling. Little or no research has been taken on the circular economy from its benefit to cost in the construction industry in Nigeria. The survey results from several literatures and workshops materials were utilized. This paper provides a reviewed analysis on the concept of circular economy (CE), its definition, principles and benefits to cost in the Nigerian construction industry. It also reviewed the construction industry, construction material waste situation, construction waste recovery systems and waste management policies in Nigeria. To encourage greater implementation of circular economy principles throughout the supply chain, a clear economic case is paramount, supported by metrics, tools and guidance, and the support from the government through the regulatory agencies such as COREN, in the case of Nigeria.
