Overview

EvacPath makes AS 3745-compliant evacuation diagrams for hotels and accommodation from A$70 per diagram (Basic A$280 for up to 4 diagrams, Standard A$420 for up to 8), delivered as print-ready PDFs in 3 to 5 business days with no site visit. You see your first draft before you pay.

Hotels, motels, and serviced apartments must provide evacuation diagrams in every guest room and at key locations throughout the property. Guests are sleeping in an unfamiliar building, often in a city or country they do not know well. In an emergency, clear diagrams are essential because guests cannot rely on familiarity to find exits. AS 3745 applies to all accommodation buildings, from boutique hotels to large resort complexes.

Section 02

Why hotels need diagrams

  • Guests are unfamiliar with the building and may be disoriented, especially at night
  • High occupancy during peak seasons increases evacuation complexity
  • Multiple levels of guest rooms with long corridors need clear exit route markings
  • Conference and event spaces within hotels have high transient occupancy
  • Fire safety is a core requirement for accommodation licensing and council approvals
  • International guests may not read English, so visual diagrams are critical
Section 03

Where to install diagrams

  • Inside every guest room (typically on the back of the room door)
  • At every lift lobby and fire stair entrance on guest floors
  • Hotel reception and main lobby
  • Conference rooms and function spaces
  • Restaurant, bar, and pool areas within the property
  • Back-of-house areas including kitchens, laundry, and loading docks
  • Car park entry and exit points
Section 04

Common challenges

Accommodation buildings often have repetitive floor layouts, but each floor may differ slightly due to plant rooms, roof terraces, or conference levels. Room renovations and floor reconfigurations happen regularly. Hotels also need a large number of diagrams (one per room plus common areas), making cost and turnaround time real concerns. Serviced apartments in mixed-use buildings add further complexity because the evacuation plan must coordinate with the residential and retail components of the same structure.

FAQ

Hotels FAQ

How many diagrams does a typical hotel need?

A typical 100-room hotel needs around 110 to 120 diagrams: one per guest room, plus diagrams for each lift lobby, fire stair, reception, conference rooms, restaurant, kitchen, and back-of-house areas. Smaller motels with 20 to 40 rooms typically need 30 to 50 total. We use volume pricing for properties of this scale and produce repetitive guest-room diagrams efficiently.

Does each guest room need its own diagram or can floors share?

Each guest room needs its own diagram because the diagram is oriented to that specific door. The path from "you are here" to the nearest exit changes depending on where on the floor the room is located. We handle the variation by producing a base floor plan then customising the orientation and "you are here" marker for each room.

How are non-English-speaking guests considered?

AS 3745 diagrams use standard ISO 7010 safety symbols that are recognised internationally. The visual layout, exit arrows, and pictograms communicate the route without depending on text. Some hotels add bilingual or multilingual procedure panels alongside the diagram, which we can produce as a complementary deliverable.
