Many previous researchers have agreed that a conflict take away the success of the project in terms it cannot be done within allocated and expected time, cost and quality, which is then often accompanied by the destruction of individual and good working relationships.

The questionnaire survey has been distributed by hand or via email to the potential respondents at Perak. The result concluded that there are three significant causes of conflict which are (i) different professions that create dissimilar perception among professional parties, (ii) poor communications among the professional parties and (iii) mistrust in the performance of duties in teamwork meanwhile the major impact is increased due the stressful working environment. Integrating or collaborative method is also highly preferred by respondents when dealing with conflicts.
