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.

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 serve as a cornerstone in translating intricate data into clear directives, facilitating rapid and secure 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 2pm – at no additional cost!

From device types and sizes to cable routes and DB readings, every facet of the fire alarm system is meticulously 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.

For employers, owners, or premises occupiers entrusted with fire safety, QDOS offers meticulously crafted fire escape plans. In strict adherence to the latest British Standard, these plans are strategically displayed as signs in public areas and workplaces.

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.
