Recently, there have been clamors for the construction industry to adopt circular models as a means of enhancing sustainability. The need to incorporate circularity into the nigerian construction industry where the current linear consumption of construction materials is considered unsustainable, forms the basis of this study. This is further exacerbated by the financial dilemma in nigeria, where shortage of funds to execute construction projects is often highlighted. This study was aimed at investigating the mediating effects of construction firms’ organizational culture on circular economy processes that affects the economic sustainability of construction projects in the nigerian construction industry. Three main circular economy processes that affects economic sustainability of construction projects were identified; they include circular design, circular construction and material sustainability. The study introduced organizational culture as a mediating construct with four dimensions; they include group, development, rational and hierarchical cultures.
