Introduction of Conflict and Dispute in Construction Industry

Abstract

Are 'Conflict' and 'dispute' two same terms? Though these two terms used as complementary for each other they are different terms. Conflict, it is proposed, exists wherever there is incompatibility of interest, and therefore is pandemic. Conflict can be managed, possibly to the extent of preventing a dispute resulting from the conflict. Dispute is associated with distinct justiciable issues. Disputes require resolution. This means that they can be managed: the process of dispute resolution lends itself to third party intervention. The conceptual difference between the two is explained and further studied through the literature paper on conflict and dispute in the field of construction; a clear view for future professional is also introduced so that they take proactive measures according to present and future problems.
