Why an Update is Mandatory

Evacuation diagrams must comply with Australian Standard AS 3745:2010 – Planning for emergencies in facilities, and they should not exceed a validity period of five years, even if no changes have occurred. An expired or incorrect diagram can lead to:

  • Audit failures

  • Non-compliance notices

  • Safety risks for occupants

  • Problems during emergency drills or real events

Fire safety isn't "set and forget." Over five years, buildings change—renovations happen, fire extinguishers are moved, and safety regulations evolve.

  • The 5-Year Rule: AS 3745-2010 states that your Emergency Management Plan and Evacuation Diagrams have a maximum validity of 5 years.

  • The Risk: Using expired diagrams can lead to "Building Notices" from council, insurance complications, and confusion for occupants during a real emergency.

  • Our Solution: Whether we created your original plans or not, we can take your existing files and bring them up to current legal standards.

How Our Update Service Works

  1. Review of Existing Diagrams
    We assess your current evacuation plans and compare them with up-to-date building layouts.

  2. Checklist & Changes Assessment
    We note any required updates — expired dates, changed exits, routes, assembly areas, or safety equipment.

  3. Redraw & Compliance Check
    We create updated, AS 3745-compliant diagrams that reflect current building conditions.

  4. Delivery & Support
    Final diagrams are provided ready for display or hand-off to compliance auditors.

  • Melbourne & Victoria (Onsite Verification): For facilities in Melbourne and across Victoria, we can visit your site to verify your current layout. We check for new partitions, moved fire equipment, and updated "You Are Here" points to ensure total accuracy.

  • Australia-Wide (Remote Updates): No matter where you are located in Australia, we can update your diagrams remotely. Simply email us your current plans or a marked-up PDF showing any changes, and our CAD team will handle the rest.

  • Archive Service: Once we update your plans, we keep them in our secure CAD database. This makes future changes (like a simple logo swap) even cheaper and faster for you.

  • Fast Turnaround: We know audits happen fast. We offer express digital delivery to get your compliance back on track immediately.

  • Print & Frame Options: We don't just send a file; we can provide high-quality prints and sleek snap-lock frames delivered to your door.
