AB  - The construction industry (CI) is responsible for consuming 3 billion tons of 
      natural raw materials annually. Also, as per the survey by World Resources 
      Institute, the CI accounts for 40 % of the total waste generated globally. The 
      solution to this inefficient resource usage and adverse effects on the ecosystem 
      is implementing Circular Economy (CE) practices in CI. However, the concept of 
      circular construction is in developmental stages. Therefore, it is more prone to 
      damaging risks than traditional construction. The primary aim of this study is to 
      identify and assess the risk related to implementing CE practices in developing 
      country construction sector. To achieve this aim, 25 risks were shortlisted from 
      the literature review and evaluated upon the probability, detection, and severity 
      risk criteria. This study proposed a novel hybrid fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision 
      Making (MCDM) approach to analyze the shortlisted risks. Fuzzy Step Wise 
      Assessment Ratio Analysis (FSWARA) is employed to gauge the risk criterion 
      weightage. Moreover, Fuzzy VIKOR (FVIKOR) is used to determine the risks' ranking 
      as per the weightage of the risk criterion. The analyses ranked "lack of 
      political support and incentives for circular construction", "difficulty in 
      selection of circular construction experts", "profit uncertainty", and "circular 
      material quality" as the most critical risks. Therefore, it is recommended for 
      legislative authority to devise a framework that promotes and provides support to 
      circular construction. Moreover, this study fills the literature gap by assessing 
      the risks of CE practices in the CI of Pakistan.
