AbstractClient briefing plays a crucial role in success of a construction project. A successful briefing can achieve the target time, cost and quality for a project and make decision on project confidently. Although there are many attempts to approach client’s requirement and needs for a project, it is still not collected adequately to make appropriate solutions in design. In Vietnam, client briefing is not considered an important process and architects usually focus on design without paying any attention what their client really wants. The objective of this research are to provide a basic knowledge of briefing process which is not consider as a integral process in construction process in Vietnam, present research, analysis of problems of briefing in a project and recommend a briefing framework in order to avoid client’s frequent changes and control information collected systematically.

The report points out that a framework of briefing need to be established for identification what a client really wand and clarification of client’s demands.
