I don't get it. Does it mean conflict that is building or something? Can you help me understand this?

A conflict where the outcome is better than it would be had the conflict not occurred.
For example, two people may have different plans for a project of some sort. They may argue (a conflict) about what the best way to proceed is. If, through this argument, they develop a new plan which incorporates the best aspects of the two original plans, the conflict was constructive.

Constructive Conflict means a clashing of ideas, words, or body parts from which there is understanding gained.
For example, if you were to go into your older brother's bedroom and mess up his carefully arranged collection of Justin Timberlake memorabilia, and he catches you, and pounds your face for a few minutes...THAT is contstructive conflict. You have learned through the conflict (and your bruised and bloodied face) several things:
a) That your brother values his collection.
b) That you should not mess with his collection if you want to avoid pain and black eyes.
c) That your brother is most likely of questionable sexual orientation.
See? It was a constructive conflict.
On the other hand, if you are walking down the street just slurping on your Holiday Mint Shake from McDonalds, and the Hamburgler runs by, slaps you in the face, and grabs it, and runs off...well...that is not such a constructive conflict. What did you learn??? (well, except that the Hamburgler isn't just attracted to hamburgers!).
See? Arguably, EVERY conflict is a "constructive" conflict...what varies is the degree to which it is constructive (i.e., how much you learn from it, and if what you learned is relatively valuable).

It means that it is a disagreement that had positive outcomes. As the psychologists say, conflict is a problem but it is also an opportunity. In working the right way through a conflict with someone, a better understanding is developed between two people and the outcome can be very beneficial.

Constructive means working to become better, so that would make sense.

That is when you have a fight, but you try and learn from it in order to better yourself
