Fire Plan Strategy Drawings

Compliant Fire Safety Drawings to Support Your Fire Risk Strategy

At VMR Draughting, we specialise in producing clear, CAD-based fire plan drawings tailored to help meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, and other building control standards.

Whether you’re a Responsible Person for a residential block or a contractor supporting fire alarm installations, our fire drawings provide a clear visual record of key safety systems—helping to support fire risk assessments, evacuation planning, and emergency preparedness.

What Are Fire Plan Drawings?

Fire plan drawings are detailed building layouts that highlight essential fire safety features such as escape routes, fire exits, alarm points, extinguishers, and fire compartments. They are used to support fire strategies, risk assessments, and compliance with UK regulations, helping ensure both occupant safety and legal approval for buildings under the Fire Safety Order 2005. They can be used for:

Fire Safety Drawings We Provide

Each drawing is created in CAD and delivered in PDF and DWG formats, with scaled dimensions and clear annotation. Our team ensures that each plan supports your building’s safety strategy and is ready for integration into your building safety file or PIB.

Fire Protection Layouts

Identify the positions of fire suppression systems including:

  • Sprinkler heads and coverage zones
  • Dry/wet riser inlets and routes
  • Suppression pipework, where applicable

These layouts help satisfy requirements for planned maintenance, system upgrades, or fire strategy development.

Fire Detection & Alarm Plans

We document the layout of fire alarm equipment in accordance with BS 5839, including:

  • Manual call points, sounders and beacons
  • Smoke and heat detectors
  • Alarm control panel and repeater locations

These diagrams support zone plan creation and are essential for compliant as-fitted fire alarm handover packs.

Fire Alarm Zone Plans

These plans show the zoning of your fire detection system. We include:

  • Clearly marked alarm zones
  • Entrances, stairs, and circulation spaces
  • Orientation and “You Are Here” symbols for wall-mounted use

They are suitable for display adjacent to fire alarm control panels, a requirement in all non-domestic and residential buildings using zoned fire alarms.

Fire Escape & Evacuation Plans

We prepare user-friendly evacuation plans that include:

  • Primary and secondary escape routes
  • Fire exit locations and signage
  • Assembly points and refuge areas

These are vital for staff fire training, wall displays, and multi-lingual fire procedures in public-facing buildings.

Firefighting Equipment Layouts

Plans marking the location and type of firefighting equipment such as:

  • Fire extinguishers and fire blankets
  • Hose reels and hydrants
  • First aid kits and safety signage

This information is often required as part of fire risk assessments and premises documentation for emergency services.

Secure Information Box Layouts

For high-rise residential buildings, we prepare:

  • Accurate floor plans identifying critical firefighting infrastructure
  • A concise building plan showing entrances, riser locations, stairways, and SIB access
  • All plans formatted and ready for hard copy and digital submission to the local fire and rescue authority, as per the 2022 Regulations

Compliancy with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022

Our drawings are suitable for all types of multi-occupancy buildings covered under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations, including:

  • Blocks of flats (converted or purpose-built)
  • Student accommodation
  • Mixed-use buildings with shared access routes

We support Responsible Persons by creating documentation that aligns with current fire safety law, including requirements for:

  • Display and provision of evacuation instructions
  • Annual fire door checks and communication with residents
  • Firefighting equipment maintenance tracking
  • Submission of plans for high-rise buildings over 18m
