| Abstract | Why do most of clients just concentrate on the quality in the construction stage? It is too late. Clients should control the quality from the input, and especially from the design phase. Because the more allocation during the design phase affects about 80% the cost, the project might save investment cost as well as avoid the unfortunate consequences later . The study aims to assess the strength and weakness of project quality management in the design phase . The scope of study was limited in design organizati on specified in infrastructure work in Viet n am. Cross literature was reviewed and real case analysis was implemented in order to find out the strength and weakness of quality management, then lesson s learned for design process. Another objective of this study is providing project managers, design engineers and who concerned a practice knowledge of quality management in design in order to help them manage the project, achieving the high quality outcom e. The result of this study shows that both client and consultant in the studied project still concentrate more on the cost and budget than the quality although this is a significant project funded by ADB and A us AID. The study also recommend s some work ins tructions for improving quality in the design phase. Design quality can only be improved when clients and consultant firms change their attitude toward quality management. |
