How many flat file drawers does an architecture firm typically need?

The number of flat file drawers an architecture firm needs depends on project volume and retention practices. A rule of thumb: one drawer per 2–5 active projects (depending on how many drawings per project), plus additional drawers for archived completed projects. A busy design firm with 20+ active projects may need a 10-drawer system (two stacked 5-drawer sections) just for active files. Archive storage can often use less expensive flat file sections since access frequency is lower. For growing firms, plan for expansion by choosing a stackable flat file system so additional sections can be added as needed.
