AbstractIn general, project completed with destined time, cost, and quality is the basic target of construction project management. T he Ho Chi Minh National highway (HCM NH) construction project is a great and very important highway construction project in Viet Nam . H CM NH project is around 2 667 kilometers l ong , does not include the West branch with the length of 500 kilometers from Khe Gat – Quang Binh province to Thach My – Quang Nam province. Cost e stimated of the first phase is around 2 . 3 billions USD by Vietnamese Government for the tw o carriageway lanes standard . The first phase was started in 2000 and planned to complete in 2010. After that, from 2010 to 2020, the H CM NH will be improved step by step to standard of the high - speedway with the cost estimate d of this phase is about 15 billions USD . For the purpose of performance arrangement , t his project is divided in to the H CM NH construction sub - projects. Regrettably, up to now, most the H CM NH construction sub - projects cannot be finished within intended time, budget and resources. Normally, time delay always happened in Ho Chi Minh NH construction sub - projects . This report summarized the delay caus es factors involve d in the Ho Chi Minh NH construction sub - projects . This report will be conducted by using qualitative early research es . Through a case study on the road construction sub - project co nnecting the H CM NH to the Lan Ong commemorative area , the data will be coll ected to analyze the facing problems. It was discovered from this study that there were many factors causing project time delays in the studying sub - project. From the case study, effective solutions for controlling the delays will be investigated. Finally, a framework for controlling and preventing delays in Ho Chi Minh NH construction sub - projects in the future is proposed.
