Some other, other things to consider:
► Depending on coordination needs, my work is adjusted to fit into your workflows:
►► Revit: My work can be completed as "Drafting Views", and imported into your project files upon completion. Elements could be used as is, or copy-pasted over "Live" views as required.

►► Revit Links: A separate file is Revit-linked into your project. My work can be completed as "Drafting Views" or "Live Views", and imported into your project files upon completion. Elements could be used as is, or copy-pasted over "Live" views as required. Alternatively, sheets can be created in my working file and printed from your project.

►► Revit Work-sharing: In coordination with your IT team, I would be granted access to your server to directly work on your projects (Local files are synchronised to a central). 
►► AutoCAD: Files could be worked on directly, separately, or X-REF'd into your projects.
