The need to introduce a standardised measuring system in the construction industry is an implicit reflection of the efficiency of the projects.Nevertheless, the execution of the standard is still not widespread among the construction stakeholders.To date, little consideration has been paid to the need to re-examine current awareness of benefits that influence the standard method of implementation of a measurement. Previous relevant literature on the benefits of implementing the standard measurement method in construction industryhad been located from electronic databases, journals, conference papers, texts, unpublished research articles, and standards. It has been found that the most reported benefits are to provide continuity, precision, and reliability for the principles of measurement. It also offers competitive and reliable tender price, minimizes unnecessary disputes, facilitates contract management, and to provide effective and systematic bill of quantities preparation. Based on the review of the available literature sources, this paper discusses the identified benefits to examine how far these benefits may well affect the process of the method of measurement uniformity implementation particularly in the context of Malaysian construction sector.
