For this reason, the economic efficiency presented by the circular economy models compared to the construction sector in Colombia was analyzed. This project was carried out with a type of research with a qualitative approach, with a descriptive scope. The type of research in which the methodological design was framed was an action research, as a technique a documentary review was implemented, where thestatistical and sustainability reports of the construction sector were part of the information used. As a result of the research, it was initially possible to identify the circular economy models applied in the construction sector. Likewise, the economic-environmental impact of these could be analyzed. Finally, the feasibility of using circular economy models in the construction sector was determined. Concluding that the circular economy is a strategy that allows addressing the new challenges facing the construction sector in Colombia.
