Building industry clients are suggested to clarify requirements and needs properly at the pre-project stage. According to these they can develop options to meet their needs with considering their resources and business case. At this stage, they make decisions while professionals in the industry are not involving. This process is called client briefing at the pre-project stage. However, client briefing is not a discrete process only conducted at this stage; various clients briefings should be performed over a project lift cycle. The client briefing at the pre-project stage is more important than others as the value for the clients is clarified at this stage - they may not be satisfied for the project results even when the project is finished on time within budget if the value itself is incorrectly defined. Given that the client briefing is important as stated, this paper aims to review theory on client briefing focusing those at the pre-project stage. As a part of research, a prototype workshop for client briefing is held and findings from it are summarized. Finally, suggestions for conducting client briefing in Korea are presented in terms of directions of relevant research, systems in the industry and points that clients or client briefing consultants should consider.

The construction starts its business by receiving the order from client and owner. The client presents requirements and related information so that the desired result can come out while the designer and the builder express and implement the building according to set objectives and goals of project based on information on project environment and presented requirements. Because the construction project makes decisions on such objectives at its early stage and previous stage becomes the situation for decision making of next stage as the computation to implement decisions get performed. Accordingly, this study has mentioned necessity of requirement analysis and systematization of construction project, analyzed the work of construction's early stage and resented a plan for objective of construction project requirement definition model in which requirements engineering has been applied and using it while making decisions on designing.
