What Are Evacuation Diagrams?
What Is Included on Our Evacuation Diagrams
Every evacuation diagram we prepare includes all required elements for compliance:
✔ Floor layout with pictorial representation
✔ You Are Here location
✔ Designated emergency exits and exit routes
✔ Paths of acceptable travel
✔ Fire safety equipment (extinguishers, hose reels, blankets)
✔ Emergency equipment such as FIP and manual call points
✔ Assembly areas
✔ Legend reflecting symbols used on the diagram
Optional details can also be included where appropriate, such as additional safety equipment or site-specific features.
Evacuation diagrams are pictorial floor plans designed to help building occupants understand the safest way to exit a facility during an emergency. Each diagram includes a clear orientation, exit routes, fire equipment locations and a “You Are Here” point so anyone in your building can quickly find the nearest safe exit.
In Australia, evacuation diagrams aren't just a safety recommendation—they are a legal requirement under AS 3745-2010. Whether you are a small office, a high-rise apartment, or a large industrial site, your diagrams must be accurate, correctly oriented, and updated every 5 years

How Do We Work?
Step 1: Consultation & Quote
Contact us with your building details to receive a transparent, fixed-price quote. To get started, we collect the best available information for your facility, such as:
Existing floor plans, CAD files, or architectural layouts.
Notes on exit doors, fire equipment, and assembly points.
No Plans? No Problem. If you don’t have drawings, we can schedule an onsite inspection across Melbourne and Victoria to measure and verify your building details from scratch.
Step 2: Site Inspection (Victoria Only)
While we draft remotely for clients Australia-wide, an onsite visit is the "gold standard" for complex buildings. We highly recommend an inspection if:
Structural Changes: Your facility has been renovated or extended.
Missing Data: You lack technical plans showing fire extinguishers, hoses, or panels.
Orientation Accuracy: You are unsure where to legally place diagrams or how to orient the "You Are Here" pointers.
Expert Consultation: You need professional advice on optimizing people flow and emergency exit paths.
Step 3: Professional CAD Drafting
Our specialist design team begins the fire exit plan design process using professional CAD software. We don’t just draw lines; we ensure 100% compliance with AS 3745-2010. We also customise your diagrams with your company logo and ensure every "You Are Here" marker is correctly aligned for the specific hallway where it will be installed.
Step 4: Review & Rapid Approval
We send you the draft fire escape plans for your review. We handle any "after-sales" tweaks or adjustments quickly to ensure you are 100% satisfied.
Need it fast? Our 24-hour express service provides high-resolution PDFs ready for immediate audit or inspection.
Step 5: Delivery & Installation
Choose the final format that suits your facility:
Digital: High-resolution PDFs for your own records or printing.
Printed & Framed: UV-resistant prints in sleek, professional snap-lock frames.
Onsite Installation (VIC Only): Our Melbourne team will professionally mount your fire exit signs and diagrams at the legally required height using industrial 3M VHB tape—ensuring a secure fit with no wall damage.
Final diagrams are suitable for display at approved locations and ready for audit or inspection.
