Effects of Some Stakeholders on the Briefing Design Stage in Construction Projects

In the construction industry, one of the risk areas is lack of planning and management on the project budget, project time, and the project scope in the briefing design stages of the construction project between the stakeholders. The briefing stages of the design project is divided into three parts; identification of the project, aim and content of the project, and design and performance of the project. In these parts, determination of possible risks and problems between client and design team plays a very important role in achieving the construction project design. This research focuses on the determination of the potential risks between design team members (who takes the lead on the construction project design e.g architects and engineers) and clients (any person for whom construction work is performed). Also this research provides an instructing expert system to increase both the safety of clients and achieving the design team activity by sticking to the problems early in the briefing design stage.
