Detailed explanation of conflict management strategy with
As per the previously established idea of the dream home in in association with the
Keystart initiative association in Western Australia, the dream home application and project
plan is eligible to apply. It included the specification of the suburb that the dream was to be
will turn and also decided on the land size that it both the partners wanted to buy including
the budget to be spent on the land (Love & Smith, 2016). Considering all the fact about the
research market, the identification of the potential hold builders and the finalisation of the
layout and design agreement including the cost of building the house, the deal was entered.
The land contractor with the land developer was signed with a payment of deposit of about
2,000 AUD with pre work construction sign up done with the builder with deposition of
another 2,000 AUD.
Considering all the fact the contract were included to be submitted to Keystart for
finalising the sponsorship of the entire project for building the dream home. However, in
between there were several conflicts that where raised (Demirkesen & Ozorhon, 2017). One
of the major conflicts that were raised where considering both the sides of the first and the
second partner. There were several disagreements and difficulties over the project. The major
points of disagreement where finalising a single design layout with the partner with inclusion
to the home including the luxury and standard kitchen set ups and also electrical appliances,
design for the flowers and others. The other conflicts included on obtaining a cost estimation
as the builder has been asking to include the 5 kilowatt solar energy system for free in the
project to ensure their current promotion. This is also being a problem as the eligibility and
promotion would end soon and there were no agreement to the factor of including the new
device or not. There was another problem related to the Keystart program, as the eligibility
for application to the program was ending soon and partner's salary was not credited (Emuze,
2015). Even the combined income would be above the threshold limit for the couples that it
would be no longer be eligible to apply for the dream project. This is why following would be
the detailed explanation of the conflict management strategy with both the partner and the
builder described as below:
a) Your partner
As a project manager, it is essential that the authentication of the project is established
by the project manager themselves. This should be done by handling all the conflicts that
might arise for the project. As for this project there are several factors that is causing

problems and issues in the project from the end of the partner (Nogueira, Sousa & Moreira,
2018). The primary problem is this agreement to the project in several areas. In addition, the
conflict includes the partner's salary to be due for a significant increment and the threshold
limit of the combined income of both the partners that would be over the threshold limit for
the Keystart program.
All the conflict that the project was facing was inevitable as there is no feasible
project without conflict. For a project manager, it is essential that methodological approach
for resolving the conflict is taken so that the conflict might not cause risk to the entire project.
This would involve the application of all the skills, knowledge, tools and techniques to meet
the requirements of the project handling the conflicts and resolving them at the same time
with the utilisation of proper methods (Abuhejleh, Dulaimi & Ellahham, 2016).
Understanding conflict is as necessary as understanding the requirements and deliverables of
the project. For all the conflicts that have been raised with the partner in this case, it is
essential that the nature of the conflict be understood. Following would be the ways by which
proper utilisation of conflict management strategy would be applied to this particular case:
 Since identifying the proper reason for disagreement of the partner is not
necessarily cleared out, it can be considered that it the apparent reason for
disagreement is not found out (Zhang, Cao & Wang, 2018). Therefore the
partner should be talked with to clear out the reasons for which there has been
disagreement to the factor regarding the different aspects of design and
development of the dream home project.
 One of the biggest conflict management strategy is to listen to understand the
reasons that the partner is explaining about the disagreements. After listening
to all the reasons for the disagreements it is better to understand and find a
way to resolve all the disagreements by coming to a discussion (Assen, 2018).
If it is found that the reasons for which the partner is disagreeing to the several
factors out of trivial reasons, proper guidance should be provided so that the
partner may find out the actual factor to agree.
 About the salary that still needs to be e credited to the partners account, for
which the Keystart program might not be still eligible, then help must be
developed from the side of the other partner so that the threshold limit might
not exceed to apply (Nguyen & Watanabe, 2017). However, before that there
should be a proper agreement taken from the side of the partner as well so that
