It is important to nations’ future development and plays a critical role in creating and enhancing sustainable living conditions . Therefore, t he planning, design an d construction of full infrastructure system is of vital importance in developed and developing countries and in rural and urban areas, as it supports and connects our communities. In recent years, the construction market have been swiftly blooming, especi ally the real - estate market in Vietnam . Thousands of the residential areas have been sprout ing in the metropolis. This is one of important reason , why the government and the local authorities are attempting to invest and improve infrastructure system. This reason not only creat ing the huge market for construction consultancies but also raising these chal l en ges for owners for managing these ones in design. Additionally, the owners have been facing the complexity of these infrastructure projects increasingly. However, the role, the responsibility and the involvement of owner and consultan t in each phase is unclear. Additionally, the design manager is not enough skills to meet the requirement of infrastructure project. As a result , the delay of pre - construction phase and the poor quality of existing buidlings as witness ed by the process of bad design management. The main purpose of this study is to conduct an intensive exploration and into the most problematic design management areas and to seek the invovement o f owner and consultant and their skills as design manager in pre - construction phase for complex infrastructure projects in Vietnam , and assist owner and consultant find ing appropriate solution and precise recommendations to improve them . Analysis of a case study in Vietnam suggests that owners require s careful planning, innovative managerial approaches, attention to behavioral issues, appropriate communication and information technologies, and mutual understanding of partie s' roles and responsibilities .
