How does a civil engineering firm organize flat file storage?

Civil engineering firms organize flat file storage by project number, with each drawer (or portion of a drawer) dedicated to a specific project's drawing set. Within each project, drawings are typically organized by discipline (civil grading, civil utilities, roadway geometry, stormwater) and then by drawing number. For large projects with many sheets, tabbed dividers within the drawer separate the disciplines. Completed project drawings are archived in separate archive drawers or archive flat file sections, with the project number and completion date labeled on the drawer. A project index (a simple spreadsheet noting which drawer holds which project) speeds retrieval. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 for engineering firm flat file solutions.
