How Much Do Evacuation Diagrams Cost in Australia? 2026 Pricing Guide

How much do evacuation diagrams cost in Australia? In 2026, a single AS 3745 evacuation diagram usually costs A$70 to A$175 when the provider works from a floor plan you supply, or A$150 to A$250 when a site visit is included, and a full building of several diagrams commonly lands between A$300 and A$1,400. EvacPath makes AS 3745 evacuation diagrams from A$70 per diagram, with a Basic package at A$280 that covers up to 4 diagrams for a single site, drafted remotely with no site visit and delivered as print-ready A3 PDFs in 3 to 5 business days. What pushes the price up is the number of diagrams and floors, how complex the building is, and whether a site visit is required. With EvacPath you see your first draft before you pay anything.

The rest of this guide breaks those numbers down: what the wider Australian market charges, exactly what EvacPath includes at each price, what makes a quote go up or down, and why remote drafting costs less than sending someone to your door. Every figure here is either our published pricing or a market range we have seen quoted, and we flag which is which.

What evacuation diagrams cost in Australia in 2026

Pricing in the Australian evacuation diagram market is fragmented. Buyers regularly see quotes from A$50 to A$600 for what is essentially the same wall-mounted compliance document. These are the ranges we see quoted across the market in 2026, so treat them as a budgeting guide rather than fixed rates:

• Single diagram, drawn from a floor plan you supply (remote): about A$70 to A$175.
• Single diagram with a site visit included: about A$150 to A$250.
• Small building, around 4 diagrams: roughly A$400 to A$700 at typical market rates.
• Medium building, around 8 diagrams: roughly A$800 to A$1,400.
• Large or multi-site job, 15 or more diagrams: A$1,500 to A$3,000 and up.
• Floor plan drawn from scratch (no existing plan, measure-up required): add about A$200 to A$600 for the site visit or survey.
• Print and mount as an add-on: about A$40 to A$120 per diagram, on top of the drawing fee.

The per-diagram rate almost always drops as you order more, because the provider reuses one base floor plan across every You Are Here location. That is why ordering all your diagrams together is cheaper than commissioning them one at a time. For a deeper line-item breakdown of the wider market, the buyer's guide walks through supplier selection and the red flags to watch for.

EvacPath pricing at a glance

EvacPath is a digital-only, remote service, so the pricing is fixed and published rather than quoted case by case. Here is what each package costs and what you get:

• Basic, A$280: up to 4 diagrams for a single site, single floor. Suits smaller sites, typically up to about 500 m2. Works out to around A$70 per diagram if you use all four.
• Standard, A$420: up to 8 diagrams for a single site, single floor. Typically sites around 1,000 m2, or any site with more display points. Around A$52.50 per diagram if you use all eight.
• Custom, by quote: 9 or more diagrams, multi-floor buildings, or franchise and multi-site packs at a volume rate.
• Additional diagrams beyond your package: A$70 each.
• Every package includes a print-ready A3 PDF for each location plus web-resolution JPG and PNG copies, revisions until you approve plus 2 rounds of minor updates after delivery, and delivery in 3 to 5 business days (or 1 to 2 business days if you have a deadline, at no extra cost).

One thing worth knowing before you order: a lot of buyers under-order because they assume every diagram is billed separately. With the Basic package, up to 4 diagram locations are included at the same A$280 price, so if your site needs three or four You Are Here positions, you are not paying extra for each one. Count the actual spots on your walls where a diagram will hang, then pick the package that covers them. Floor area does not change the price: the sizes above are only a guide to how many display locations a site usually needs. Prices are in AUD and do not include GST. See the live pricing page for the full comparison and the built-in calculator.

What changes the price

A quote for evacuation diagrams moves on a handful of factors. Knowing them helps you read any quote, not just ours:

• Number of diagrams and locations. One diagram equals one You Are Here position, and every spot where a diagram will hang needs its own, because the marker and the highlighted exit path change with the viewer's position. More locations means a higher total, though the per-diagram rate falls as the count rises.
• Number of floors. Each floor is a separate layout. A single-floor site sits inside Basic or Standard; multi-floor buildings move to a Custom quote. EvacPath's pricing calculator estimates roughly A$50 per additional floor on top of the diagram count.
• Building complexity. A simple open-plan office is quick to draw. A multi-tenant floor, an unusual layout, or several fire compartments takes longer and can lift the price.
• Revisions and update rounds. Diagrams almost always need at least one correction after the first draft, because the drafter works from your documents, not the actual building. EvacPath refines until you approve, then includes 2 rounds of minor updates after delivery. If a provider charges per revision, factor that in.
• Site visits. A provider who drives to your building bills for that time and travel. EvacPath does not do site visits, which is a large part of why remote drafting is cheaper.
• Print and framing extras. Printing, laminating, and mounting are separate from the drawing fee. EvacPath delivers print-ready files and you handle the local print (most print shops produce A3 laminated diagrams for a few dollars each), so you are not paying a markup on print.

Why remote drafting costs less

The single biggest cost driver in a traditional evacuation-diagram quote is the site visit. Sending a consultant to your building means paying for travel, time on site, and often a minimum call-out fee before a single line is drawn. Remote drafting removes that cost. You send a floor plan and mark where the exits, fire extinguishers, hose reels, first aid kits, and assembly area are, and the diagram is drawn from that. For a full walkthrough of the remote process, see evacuation diagrams without a site visit.

That trade is honest and worth stating plainly. Because we are not standing in your building, you own one job: checking the finished diagram against what is actually on your walls before it goes up. Under AS 3745, verifying the emergency information and the diagram against the site is the responsibility of the facility, usually through its Emergency Planning Committee or a competent person. EvacPath draws to the AS 3745 diagram elements and delivers ahead of your inspection; your EPC or a qualified person confirms it matches the building. That division of responsibility is why the price is lower without cutting compliance corners.

The cost of not complying

It is worth weighing the price of diagrams against the cost of not having compliant ones. Missing, outdated, or non-compliant evacuation diagrams are a common finding in fire safety inspections, and they can hold up an annual fire safety statement or trigger a re-inspection. Insurers also lean on AS 3745 compliance, and a gap flagged at renewal, or worse after an incident, can complicate a claim.

Against a A$280 to A$420 one-off spend for a compliant set of diagrams, a failed audit, a re-inspection fee, or a disputed insurance claim is the more expensive outcome. Compliance documents are cheap insurance.

How much do evacuation diagrams cost in Australia?

In 2026, a single AS 3745 evacuation diagram typically costs A$70 to A$175 when it is drawn from a floor plan you supply, or A$150 to A$250 when a site visit is included. A full building of several diagrams usually falls between A$300 and A$1,400 depending on the number of locations and floors. EvacPath's Basic package is A$280 for up to 4 diagrams at a single site, which works out to about A$70 per diagram.

Is A$280 for 1 to 4 diagrams realistic?

Yes. A$280 for up to 4 diagrams is EvacPath's published Basic price, not a teaser rate. It is possible because the service is fully remote with no site visit, all four diagrams reuse one base floor plan, and printing is left to you. At roughly A$70 per diagram it sits at the competitive end of the Australian market while still meeting the AS 3745 diagram elements. Additional diagrams beyond the first four are A$70 each, and larger or multi-floor sites move to the A$420 Standard package or a Custom quote.

Do I pay before seeing anything?

No. EvacPath works draft-first: you start your order, we prepare a first draft of your diagram, and you are only invoiced once you are happy to proceed. That means you see the actual work before any money changes hands. Nothing is payable up front.

What do extra floors cost?

A single-floor site fits inside the Basic (A$280) or Standard (A$420) packages. Multi-floor buildings are handled as a Custom quote, because each floor is drawn as its own layout. As a rough guide, EvacPath's pricing calculator adds about A$50 per additional floor on top of the diagram count, and the exact figure is confirmed in your quote. Send us the number of floors and display locations and we will price it.

Are site visits required?

No. EvacPath is a remote, digital-only service and does not visit your site, which is a key reason the pricing is lower than a traditional consultant. You supply a floor plan or sketch and mark the exits, fire equipment, and assembly area, and the diagram is drawn from that. Because no one from EvacPath inspects the building, your Emergency Planning Committee or a qualified person should verify the finished diagram against the site before it is installed, as AS 3745 intends.
