The data from the questionnaire survey is analyzed by SPSS analysis. To deal with the arises conflicts, the study proposes strategies that could reduce effectively the occurrences of conflicts in building projects. The study find out that factors causing the conflicts are in various form. The factors are related to role function when parties fail to perform as expected. However, the study establish on how to manage the conflict arise during the design and construction stage. the study proposes the framework as a strategy that could reduce effectively the incident of conflicts in building project. | en_US |
