- Abstract:
The application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) within the Construction Circular Economy (CCE) represents a transformative approach to enhancing sustainability and resource efficiency in the built environment. Although many studies have explored the feasibility of BIM in meeting the goals of CCE, such as improving energy efficiency and promoting waste recycling, a holistic review of BIM’s applications in CCE remains lacking. This study aims to fulfil the knowledge gap through systematically reviewing the relevant literature published from 2009 to 2024 by PRISMA structure and science mapping approach. Keyword co-occurrence and burst detection reveal evolving research from early lifecycle focus to recent themes such as digitalisation and demolition. Four key themes are identified. Despite growing interest, limitations remain in areas such as data interoperability and accurate waste source identification. Future research is included to integrate BIM with IoT to improve material tracking. This review provides practical implications for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to advance BIM-enabled CCE.
