The most frustrating part of handling a construction project is the conflict between ideas and opinions. This article will help you to have a much clearer vision of how to deal with such conflicts and how these are properly managed.
Project Management
This is the process of dealing with or controlling the projects and the people around them to reach a certain goal in a given time schedule with its human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources.
Conflict
A conflict is an opposition. If you, an Engineer and you’re having a meeting with the Architect and the Architect keeps insisting on the visual design he/she is up to but it was not possible for structural design purposes, you will have to find some way to resolve the conflict with an acceptable solution for both parties. Conflict comes from the Latin word striking. Conflict can arise from opposing ideas.
Common Construction Project Conflicts
Potential conflicts may be incurred by the following:
- Misinterpretation of plans and specs
- Architectural vs. Structural
- Disconnection between the interpretation of the topic
- Errors
- Accidents
Conflict Management
This is the process of limiting the negative into positive outcomes. It could enhance the learning and effectiveness of a group or organization.

- Know the problem
- Assess
- Propose a solution
