Construction conflicts remain a significant challenge to effective project delivery, particularly in environments characterised by complex contractual relationships, multiple professional disciplines, and competing stakeholder interests. This study assessed the perceived impacts of construction conflicts on the construction industry in Edo State, Nigeria, with emphasis on their financial, relational, contractual, operational, and project-related consequences. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted. The study population comprised 623 registered construction professionals, from which a sample of 244 respondents was determined using Yamane's formula. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to Builders, Quantity Surveyors, Architects, Town Planners, and Land Surveyors practising in Edo State. A total of 238 valid responses were obtained, representing a 97.5% response rate. Descriptive statistics and the Relative Severity Index (RSI) were used to analyse and rank the perceived impacts of construction conflicts. The findings revealed that financial distress was the most prominent impact of construction conflict (RSI = 3.67), followed by strained stakeholder relationships (RSI = 3.66), cost overruns (RSI = 3.63), litigation costs (RSI = 3.62), and contractual complexity (RSI = 3.62). Loss of opportunity (RSI = 3.61), regulatory scrutiny (RSI = 3.60), and uncertainty in planning (RSI = 3.58) were also highly rated. Although decreased productivity ranked lowest (RSI = 3.48), it remained a recognised consequence of construction conflict. The study concludes that construction conflicts have multidimensional effects extending beyond immediate disagreements to influence the financial stability, professional relationships, contractual processes, planning, and overall performance of the construction industry. The findings provide location-specific evidence for stakeholders and policymakers seeking to strengthen proactive conflictmanagement practices and improve construction project delivery in Edo State.
