	Where shop drawings vary from design drawings, these variations should be highlighted on the shop drawings and brought to the attention of the design team. This is particularly important to ensure proper co-ordination on site, as fabricators are likely only to refer to the shop drawings, and not the design drawings.

	Increasingly, the preparation of shop drawings is outsourced where the supplier does not have the appropriate skills, software, hardware or resources necessary, or where they may be able to obtain lower rates or faster turnaround. However, this may not properly exploit the expertise of the supplier and places responsibility for preparing important design information with an organisation that is not contractually responsible for it and may not have the detailed knowledge necessary. The supplier should carefully check any shop drawings that are outsourced in this way.

Where digital drawings are required, file formats, naming and layering conventions may have to be adhered to. Increasingly, building information modelling is used as a means of managing project information, co-ordinating the design and detecting clashes. This can be useful to suppliers in providing clear information upon which shop drawings can be based, and allowing the shop drawings themselves to be re-incorporated back into the building information model, eliminating time-consuming manual practices and minimising errors.
