Two new CircleBIM outputs are now available to support public authorities and municipalities in turning circular economy ambitions into concrete, digital, and implementable construction practices.
Public planning and construction play a key role in the transition to a circular economy, yet policy ambitions often remain difficult to apply at project level. The newly released CircleBIM outputs address this challenge by providing both practical examples and a structured framework for implementation.
Good Practices for Circular Planning and Construction (A1.2) analyses realised construction projects and European initiatives, showing how circular strategies (such as reuse, adaptability, and material recovery) are applied in practice and supported by digital tools, particularly BIM.
The CircleBIM Framework (A1.3) offers a lifecycle-based, practice-oriented framework for public clients, municipalities, and regional authorities. It explains who needs to act at each project phase and how BIM can be used as a digital backbone to translate circular objectives into clear information requirements and measurable outcomes.
The framework is designed to be flexible and adaptable to different regulatory contexts and levels of BIM maturity. It supports municipalities in working step by step, using structured datasets and templates that link directly to digital and visualised BIM models. This connection helps decision-makers and project teams move from abstract goals to transparent, manageable, and verifiable circular processes.
Together, these publications support policy makers, decision-makers, and public clients in applying circular construction strategies more consistently and effectively in real projects.
Both documents can now be downloaded from the Library section.
