Another significant challenge was the construction industry's structure, which was seen as having a fragmented supply chain and a general lack of interest, awareness, and knowledge. The practises are further behind than they should be due to a dearth of research on the subject. This study aims to investigate the current awareness levels and CE-related practises in the Malaysian construction industry. The study employs a quantitative survey questionnaire and a convenience sample technique. Through the FAME database, personal contacts, and LinkedIn, 100 individuals from various aspects of the construction industry were contacted directly over the course of 40 days. There were 71 completed responses to the survey. Given the exploratory nature of the study, descriptive statistics were primarily used to analyse the data. A correlation, ANOVA, and descriptive analysis were also conducted to validate the aim. The research findings indicate that as governing bodies around the world place a greater emphasis on corporate social responsibility, organizations are becoming more aware of CE practises. The analysis also reveals some valuable CE insights. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the factors of CE are to develop strategies to eliminate the perceived risk of contamination.
