Evacuation diagrams testimonial

Extremely Efficient & Professional!

"UNSW recently engaged Fire Block Plans to develop new Evacuation Diagrams across all our Sydney Campuses.

This entailed over 3000 diagrams across more than 100 buildings. The time frame for completion was 5 months, which we knew was going to be a challenge.

Fire Block Plans were extremely efficient, within the first few weeks they had provided a complete schedule and had commenced their site visits within days.

The deadline for the project was achieved and the diagrams were professional and of high quality. We would not hesitate to work with FBP again when we need additional diagrams completed."

Are you a building manager, property owner or operate a business that has visitors or occupants?

Australian Standards AS3745 details the requirements for evacuation diagrams. Anyone conducting a business or undertaking a facility must have Emergency Evacuation Diagrams throughout their workplace.

    Fire Block Plans Reviews

    “We reached out to Fire Block Plans trying to find a company that could create Evacuation Diagrams for 21 of our sites spread across Australia.

    Over the next few weeks they arranged their contractors to attend our sites, keeping us in the loop with all inspection dates so that we could inform our staff.

    George Azar

    Contracts Administrator at Skope Constructions, Mt. Kuring-Gai, NSW

    We found Fire Block Plans through a google search whilst looking for a company that could provide evacuation diagrams in the ACT. The communication was great from start to finish which really helped with our tight deadline. After they visited our site they proceeded to design the drawings in around 4 business days. There were no changes required & the diagrams were installed 2 days later! Very impressed with their works & highly recommend Fire Block Plans for anyone needing evacuation diagrams.

    We were recommended Fire Block Plans from a local Townsville company for our new Regional Data Centre evacuation plans. The quick and reliable turnaround by Gordon and the FBP team was exceptional.

    Director at BBM Projects Consulting, Townsville, QLD

    I am currently based as a building manager, within a premium asset in Melbourne that required upgrades to our site Evacuation plans . Due to works from a previous contract not being sufficient and non conformed. I sourced Fire Block Plans. Gordon was very responsive and helped us with the current design and layout for our complex with the final signs that had been missing. Great service and cost saving approach to help us out. Highly recommended and will consider in future sites.

    Josh Crowhurst

    Building Manager at Concept Blue Apartments, Melbourne, VIC

    While planning for emergencies, we engaged Fire Block Plans to provide evacuation diagrams for our 27 sites across Australia, situated in major cities & small rural towns. As there were no existing floor plans for most of the sites they were to attend site to mark-up, design the plans, then return to install.

    Their communication with all our site managers was excellent, ensuring we were aware of any inspection dates. The diagrams look extremely professional and were completed in a timely manner Our experience with Fire Block Plans was terrific and we highly recommend them for anyone needing evacuation diagrams.
