Currently, it is common to think about more sustainable and efficient cities, which makes it possible to generate benefits and strategies in the social, political and economic spheres. The Circular Economy (CE) can play a fundamental role in this aspect, especially in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) sector. Therefore, this article consists of a survey of companies following CE guidelines, especially through the reuse of constructive elements. The focus of the research was the search for companies that help people in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability, whether through donations, sales or even collections, in addition to having qualified technical assistance. For this, the data available for each company was cataloged, through websites, social media and electronic magazines, in addition to the definition of some parameters that were displayed in an electronic spreadsheet. The research brings as a scientific contribution a first overview of the sector, from the perspective of this type of business model, which can help researchers in the area, as well as market professionals interested in this topic, cooperating in the dissemination of CE in the AECO sector.
