It was intensified after the Industrial Revolution and is based on the linearity of extraction, production and waste generation[1]. This problem is particularly felt in the construction industry, responsible for a significant percentage of waste. Responses to this process include the proposition of a circular production economic model, according to which products should be designed to be reused, remanufactured, refurbished, and recycled, serving as input for a new production process[2]. This paper explores circular economy [3] approaches focused on the construction process. It proposes to develop a method for analyzing circularity practices and processes for the sector. It seeks to identify stages of construction practices considering the possibility of transition from linear to circular systems. To this end, the research developed a system of indicators [4] [5] to evaluate practices in relation to circularity parameters explored in the literature. This indicator system was applied to eight cases of construction companies operating in the state of Rio de Janeiro, which were invited to participate in the research. The findings suggest indications of different stages in the industry's transition to circular production.
