| Abstract | The client's roles throughout the construction project process are crucial to the success of projects in the public sector. The aim of this research is to help bridge the existing gap between the client and other parties involved in construction process by presenting the critical roles of the client in construction process in Vietnam among three parties involved stated-owners, designers, and contractors. A survey of a randomly selected sample of 31 stated-owners, 29 contractors, and 29 designer firms from Hochiminh City of Vietnam with the traditional project approaches was made. The survey includes 52 common factors of responsibilities grouped into 10 major headings, in which the participants were asked to indicate the level of importance of each factor. The level of importance of the factor and the headings were analyzed and ranked by the importance index for stated-owners, contractors, and designers. It was found that all three parties generally agreed on the ranking of the major categories of roles in construction process. Results indicate that the nine critical important roles identified by stated-owners and designers at the same time as nine identified by stated-owners and contractors. In addition to this research, there are the five components as groups of important factors of the client's characteristics strongly regarded in construction projects in Vietnam, they are: experience, management ability, commitment, communication, and authority. If involved parties understand the vital roles of construction clients and clients themselves are prepared to take an active role in the construction process, the chances of producing more successful projects will be enhanced. |
