| Abstract |
Building industry clients are important subjects as they are the customers of the industry and have primary responsibility for managing a project. In general, clients are recommended to brief their needs and requirements properly to practitioners and make decisions timely with knowledge on project process. However, only few clients have obtained necessary knowledge to this end. Despite the importance and necessities, research relevant to clients has been considered complicated and difficult because the subject and scope of the research are too wide - anyone who wants building works can become clients and their acts would influence on entire project process. In order to reduce the difficulty, a solid framework by which the direction and scope of research in the field can be defined is necessary. This paper aims to classify the research relevant to building industry clients and explain their background and contents through reviewing those conducted in the UK. According to the reviews, types of research that can be conducted in the Korea are suggested. |
