Despite the potential of digital transformation to enhance resource efficiency and waste reduction, numerous barriers hinder its adoption. This study examines critical technology adoption for circular economy implementation in construction industry developing countries, using Ghana as a case study. A structured quantitative approach was employed, integrating mean score ranking, exploratory factor analysis, fuzzy synthetic evaluation assess severity identified barriers. Data were collected from professionals through surveys, statistical analyses performed SPSS, Excel, RStudio determine criticality The revealed that financial constraints emerged most barrier group, followed closely by institutional knowledge barriers, while technological market limitations regulatory organizational challenges also exhibited significant impediments. In response, this develops strategic framework comprising targeted solutions such incentives, capacity building, reforms, infrastructure development. addresses not only but associated risks, including uncertainty, data security threats, gaps. contributes theoretical understanding CE practices offers practical recommendations policymakers, stakeholders, academics seeking foster sustainable industry.
