To facilitate the adoption of circular economy (CE) in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector, some authors have demonstrated potential recent designs that take into account sustainable management an asset’s end-of-life (EOL), providing alternative to dominant end with demolition. However, there is no review literature encompasses a large range current CE context. This paper provides critical journal papers deal barriers implementing approaches EOL assets fulfil principles CE. Eighteen related prefabrication, design for change, deconstruction, reverse logistics, waste closed-loop systems were found. Through analysis are common among these 18 approaches, we classified them six different categories (organisational, economical, technical, social, political environmental). Two Sankey diagrams illustrate interrelation between barriers, their approaches.
