Design vs production drafting
- Your lead designer/engineer should own design intent and key decisions.
- A production drafting team should translate that intent into consistent, buildable documentation.
Where Revit helps most
- Coordinated plans/sections/elevations and rapid updates when design changes.
- Clash-aware modelling for services-heavy areas (plant rooms, risers, ceilings).
Where CAD is still strong
- Detail drafting, legacy projects, quick redlines, and simple packages.
- Shop drawing overlays and markups where speed matters.
Shop drawings: the practical split
- DraftLabs can produce shop drawings from approved design inputs.
- Fabricators should confirm fabrication constraints, tolerances, and proprietary systems.
A clean handover checklist
- Approved design drawings/model, any manufacturer details, and a clear list of required shop outputs.
