“…Findings were similar to the existing literature and the empirical study on the familiarity of decision-making tools, such as criteria scoring matrices in the construction industry context (Beyers et al, 2016;Hassanain et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2018). In addition to the literature findings, the empirical results suggested that it would be prudent to reveal the potentiality of utilising proven decision-making tools favouring a circular economy since the industry community more readily embraces the decision-making tools.…”

“…On the other hand, decision-making tools are often considered a measure that assists the industry stakeholders in distinguishing the alternatives specific to a context (Lu et al, 2018) and provides a competitive advantage related to the construction industry applications (Beyers et al, 2016). According to Hassanain et al (2018), the criteria scoring matrix method assists decision-makers in resolving the ambiguities related to selecting the best alternatives based on the selection requirements.…”

PurposeThe circular economy concept emerged as the resolution to the destructive linear economy practices. Nevertheless, the transition to a circular built environment is hindered due to the ambiguities of the economic value of the concept. Conversely, numerous decision-making tools are applied in the construction industry in assessing economic alternatives, even if there is a gap in utilising these tools in appraising circular economic practices. Hence, this study investigates the potential benefits of applying proven decision-making practices, particularly criteria scoring matrices, in developing circular built environments.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach was followed to achieve the aim of the study. A conceptual design of a criteria scoring matrix was developed with a comprehensive literature survey. Semi-structured interviews of a three-round Delphi expert survey were employed to assess the matrix qualitatively and develop the matrix further. Data were analysed using the content analysis method.FindingsThe lack of a value assessment tool in economically assessing the circular economy principles is a key barrier to transcending to a circular built environment. In addressing this issue, this study develops a criteria scoring matrix for circularity value assessment during the design stage of a construction project.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the theory by developing a criteria scoring matrix to measure the economic contribution of circular economy principles. Further, this research contributes to the practice by allowing construction alternatives to be selected, balancing the potential economic return options of a project with the project's contribution to a circular economy.
