QDOS Are an Installer’s Best Friend: A Guide to Our Full List of Services
As the UK’s leading trade supplier of fire safety drawings, fire safety installers need look no further than to QDOS for outsourcing your drawing requirements. We are proud of the service our team offers, always going above and beyond, providing expertise, brilliant customer service, added value benefits and more to provide end-to-end solutions that ensure we provide you with compliant drawings. Let’s take a look into some of the key services QDOS provides:
Fire alarm zone plans
If it has a panel then it needs a zone plan! Our most used service is the delivery of precise and accurate fire alarm zone plans. These representative drawings are strategically positioned next to Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE), providing a visual roadmap for swift and safe responses during alarm conditions. Displayed adjacent to fire alarm control panels, these plans seamlessly interpret zone LEDs, transforming complex information into actionable intelligence.
Critical for adherence to BS 5839-1:2017, Fire Alarm Zone Plans are a cornerstone in translating intricate data into clear directives, facilitating rapid and safe responses to fire emergencies.
QDOS offer a range of fire alarm zone plans to fit all requirements:
• Standard zone plans
• Site zone plans
• High-rise zone plans
• Smoke ventilation zone plans
• Emergency voice communication
• Fire alarm / EVCS combined zone plans
We recognise the importance of a prompt turnaround and that is why we offer a next-day service for all zone plans up to 10 zones that are received by 2 pm – at no additional cost! Order today.
As-fitted drawings
QDOS also offers comprehensive as-fitted drawings. These provide premises managers with detailed information, including the positions of control panels, repeater panels, associated power supplies, and actual cable routes; these drawings are essential for adherence to industry standards.
From device types and sizes to cable routes and DB readings, every facet of the fire alarm system is documented by QDOS. These drawings not only ensure compliance but serve as practical tools, aiding competent individuals in efficiently locating all aspects of the fire alarm system, on detailed building plans.
Fire escape plans
For employers, owners, or premises occupiers entrusted with fire safety, QDOS offers compliant fire escape plans. These plans are strategically displayed as signs in public areas and workplaces. Positioned at primary entry points, near lifts and stairs, and systematically in every room, especially in establishments like hotels, these plans provide occupants with vital information for a safe and orderly evacuation.
Escape plans are thoughtfully positioned to be conspicuous and permanently fixed at strategic points along escape routes, ensuring occupants can navigate to safety with confidence and precision.
We offer various finishes for all of our escape plans; framed, HILUX, and acrylic. Read our blog on the finishes available for fire alarm zone plans and escape plans here.
Premises information plates
QDOS extends its expertise to the external facets of high-rise buildings through the provision of premises information plates. Measuring 600mm x 600mm, these digitally anoprinted aluminium plates serve as a critical aid for the Fire & Rescue Service. Displaying pertinent information on building layout, services, firefighting facilities, and required hose lengths, PIPs stand as an invaluable asset for efficient emergency response.
