"how that would change because the drawing is in CAD form?"
I don't know. Why not ask your consultant? Perhaps it's easier for him to read the clearer lines of a CAD drawing. Perhaps he prefers to view the drawing in a CAD program, or wants to print it and scale it. But also, he might be looking to use the drawing as input to analysis tools and it's much easier to do that if it's in a standard file format with a known scale.
Older editions of Architectural Graphics are useful and cheap; I'm still using my third edition, and Powell's has one for $9. But you might check used bookstores locally; UT at Knoxville has an architecture school, and there are probably copies around.
