If overall size of plan submission exceeds the limit, the plans shall be submitted in different parts of smaller size. All these parts must be submitted under a same ES number. To achieve this, the first part shall be submitted with ES number and the subsequent parts shall be submitted using correspondence. 4 For re-submission, subsequent submission of outstanding drawings or documents to HDB(M&E), the QP is required to use correspondence instead of creating a new ES number. 5 \# For amendment plans, the amendment works or new works shall be clearly demarcated by using suitable markings. (C) Drawing Format and Guidelines 1 All plans shall be submitted in A1 size only and details must be clear and legible. 2 Drawing list and site layout plan shall be included on the first and second sheet of a complete set of plans respectively. In the case the drawing list is short, both the drawing list and site layout plan can be included on the first sheet of plans. The drawing list shall be prepared in the format a
