Evacuation Plans
Stay prepared and be compliant with our tailored bespoke evacuation plans for your premises.
At DDS, we offer comprehensive Evacuation Building Plan services to ensure the safety of your premises. Our process begins with a thorough survey of your building using existing drawings or creating new ones if needed.
During our visit, we will mark up or create plans that include important details such as evacuation routes, exit locations, emergency assembly points, and other important information that would be crucial in the event of an emergency. After leaving your premises, our team carefully redraws and checks the plans before passing them to our CAD team.
In addition to creating new plans, we also offer services to audit and check existing plans to ensure they are up to date and compliant.

Understanding Evacuation Plans and Why They Are Important
An emergency evacuation building plan drawing is a visual representation of the layout of a building that shows evacuation routes, exit locations, emergency assembly points, and other important information that would be crucial in the event of an emergency such as a fire, earthquake, or active shooter situation.
These drawings are important because they provide clear and easy-to-follow instructions for occupants of a building to safely evacuate during an emergency. Having a well-designed evacuation plan drawing can help minimise confusion and panic and ensure that everyone in the building knows what to do and where to go in the event of an emergency.
Additionally, these drawings are essential for first responders, as they can use them to quickly assess the situation and coordinate their response efforts. Having an emergency evacuation building plan drawing in place can ultimately save lives and prevent injuries during an emergency.
Questions and Answers
What are the benefits of an Evacuation Building plan?
An Evacuation Building plan provides crucial benefits for ensuring the safety of a building’s occupants during a fire emergency.
Do I need an Evacuation Building Plan?
In many jurisdictions, it is a legal requirement for certain types of buildings to have emergency building evacuation plans in place and display them in prominent locations throughout the building. These requirements are typically mandated by local building codes, fire codes, or occupational health and safety regulations.
The specific requirements may vary depending on the type of building, its occupancy classification, and the number of occupants. For example, buildings such as schools, office buildings, hospitals, and other public buildings are often required to have emergency evacuation plans in place and display them in accessible locations such as near exits, stairwells, and elevators.
Failure to comply with these requirements can result in fines, penalties, or other legal consequences. Therefore, it is important for building owners, managers, and occupants to be aware of their legal obligations regarding emergency evacuation plans and ensure that all necessary measures are taken to comply with the regulations.
