The practice of subcontract nomination has produced many problems to the construction industry in Vietnam. Examining the nature of associated challenges and investigating new approaches to improve the nomination practice become more critical and demanding. An initial research on what other people have written on this topic was carried out to better understand the problems and possible solutions. Then, a series of structured interviews were conducted with senior construction professionals in Vietnam to examine how the findings of the initial research apply and relate to Vietnam construction industry. The analysis and findings of the interviews formed the basis of a questionnaire. The respondents of the questionnaire were mainly asked to clarify the nomination problems and the approaches to improve the nomination practice. The research indicated that despite the significant reasons and benefits of nomination, the major problems and challenges are not encouraging to adopt it. The research found out that the full involvement of the main contractor in the nomination process from the outset is the best possible approaches to improve the practice of subcontract nomination in Vietnam.
