“…The study by Jha and Iyer [18] analysed that influencing coordination activities that related to this study, are that preparation of a project quality plan in line with contract specifications and arrangement of required inputs like drawings, specifications and technical details. Twort and Rees [19] suggested that specification for workmanship and materials of civil engineering works is by listing trades in the ICE Standard method of billing quantities (CESMM) in order which construction normally proceeds, to help drafting and make sure matters are not missed. This similar method has drawn the comparison process between building elements of Standard Method of Measurement, building works elements in the bills of quantities and architectural drawings in However, the addition of other detail will be based on design requirements.…”

Abstract. This paper recommends an aid to control discrepancies between drawings and documents in a project. The synchronisation may assist to better project's preparation and documentations. The causes of discrepancies that found out during the contract stage may lead to ineffectiveness of construction cost. The controlling process initiated from the tendering stage as to minimize the causal by any of the consultants which some items may left behind or possibly not describe fully without the thorough affiliation of coordination. The method to reduce discrepancies between drawings and documents is identified through Case Study based on 'hands on' project. The case study is focused on the preparation of architectural detailing. Therefore, the relationship of 2-Dimensional (2-D) Tender Drawings and bills of quantities is compared with the Elements of Building Works by Malaysian Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works Second Edition (SMM). The relationship study will simplify and supersede any unnecessary detailing. Thus, the application of the synchronisation method will result effectiveness of documentation during the contract stage by reducing discrepancies.
