The construction sector is one of the economic drivers of several nations, contributing to the growth of the gross domestic product. The concept of demolition is an intricate societal issue that requires attention, particularly considering the escalating number of demolitions and destruction across the globe. Several studies have been carried out, but none have attempted to analyze these three terms from the viewpoint of a demolition contractor. This study aims to describe the concept of demolition, deconstruction, and destruction with a focus on the input of the demolition contractors. A literature review on the issues of demolition, deconstruction, and destruction was done. The factors considered before embarking on the concept in the building industry were discussed. The data collected were analyzed using version 29 of the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS); the results show that health and safety environment (HSE), protection of works, and waste management- reuse, recycling, and effective disposal were ranked top three by the professionals in the demolition or construction organizations. Design flexibility and deconstruction grant were ranked lowest indicating that the industry has not fully utilized the advantage of deconstruction which in turn could encourage circularity in the economy.
