    Is there any standard AIA or other endorsed tree structure format for filing of electronic data for architectural projects?
     If so, please let me know where to access them to review them. We are a full service firm and ours has just evolved over time and is becoming cumbersome.

    The attached excerpt from The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice should assist you.

    This is a great article Richard. While there are infinite ways to organize things, it is always helpful to know "what" is "where". This is the clarity of office workflow we should all look for. Good piece.
