| Abstract | This thesis delves into the crucial role of owner's project management (OPM) during the design phase of construction projects, with a specific focus on the Phi Complex project in Vietnam. The construction sector's significance to economic growth, particularly in developing countries like Vietnam, is underscored by its potential to enhance project performance in a competitive market landscape. This study highlights the pivotal influence of informed investment decisions by project owners on the outcome of construction projects. Through an in-depth examination of design-bid-build (DBB) and design-build (DB) project delivery systems, the research underscores the advantages of integrating design and construction phases to spur innovation, reduce costs, and expedite project completion. The Phi Complex project is examined as a case study to illustrate the practical application of design management by an owner's project management consultancy (PMC), addressing challenges such as bureaucratic delays, coordination among multidisciplinary teams, and the intricacies of fast-track construction. Recommendations to navigate these challenges include the formation of a specialized regulatory liaison team, the establishment of cross-functional teams for enhanced coordination, and the development of a dynamic risk management plan. This research contributes a framework for owner's PMC design management, emphasizing the necessity for a comprehensive approach to project management that includes clear communication, collaboration, and adaptability. The findings aim to improve design management practices within the construction industry, thereby optimizing project efficiency, reducing risks, and ensuring timely project delivery. These insights are vital for future projects and contribute to the advancement of project management methodologies in the construction sector. |
