Connection accessibility refers to the ease of accessing and disconnecting the connections or fasteners between building elements or components during disassembly or deconstruction processes. It focuses on the design and placement of connections, such as bolts, screws, or clips, that hold different parts of a building together.

Connection accessibility is an important consideration for building circularity as it directly affects the efficiency and effectiveness of disassembly and material recovery. When connections are easily accessible, it becomes simpler to disconnect and separate building components without causing damage or generating waste.

By designing buildings with connection accessibility in mind, such as using visible, standard, and accessible fasteners, it becomes easier to disassemble and recover materials for reuse or recycling. This promotes circularity by facilitating efficient and sustainable dismantling practices and supporting the recovery of valuable resources from buildings at the end of their life cycles.
