About EvacPlan Generator

Making professional evacuation planning accessible to every building owner, facility manager, and safety officer.

Our Mission

Every building needs an evacuation plan. Whether it is a small office, a large hotel, a school, or a warehouse, clear evacuation maps save lives during emergencies. But for years, creating these plans has been unnecessarily expensive and time-consuming, often requiring specialized consultants or complex CAD software.

EvacPlan Generator was built to change that. We believe that every building owner and facility manager should be able to create professional, code-compliant evacuation plans without specialized training or expensive software licenses. Our web-based tool lets you upload your existing floorplans, place standardized safety icons, draw evacuation routes, and export print-ready PDFs in minutes rather than days.

We have studied the requirements of OSHA, NFPA, IFC, and IBC to ensure that plans created with our tool meet the standards that fire marshals and safety inspectors expect. Our icon library uses internationally recognized ISO fire safety symbols, and our export format includes professional map keys and clear route markings.

Purpose-Built

Designed specifically for evacuation planning. Every feature serves a single purpose: helping you create clear, compliant plans.

Simple by Design

No CAD training needed. Upload a PDF floorplan, drag and drop icons, draw routes, and export. It is that straightforward.

For Everyone

From single-location businesses to multi-building campuses. Facility managers, safety officers, and property owners all use EvacPlan.

EvacPlan Generator is created by Wayfinders, an Irish company specialising in wayfinding, signage, and spatial communication solutions. Wayfinders brings decades of experience helping people navigate complex buildings and environments safely.

EvacPlan Generator is part of the PlotStuff product family — practical, visual tools for professionals who work with floor plans, maps, and spatial data. PlotStuff was founded on the principle that professional-grade tools should be accessible without enterprise pricing or steep learning curves.

Compliance & Standards

EvacPlan Generator is designed to help you create evacuation plans that align with widely adopted fire safety codes and standards. Our icon library uses ISO-standard fire safety symbols, and our templates are informed by the requirements of the following regulatory frameworks:

  • OSHA 29 CFR 1910.38 Emergency Action Plans
  • NFPA 101 Life Safety Code
  • NFPA 1 Fire Code
  • International Fire Code (IFC) Section 404
  • International Building Code (IBC) Means of Egress

EvacPlan Generator provides tools to assist with evacuation plan creation. Compliance with specific codes depends on the accuracy and completeness of the plans you create. For projects requiring formal code compliance review, consult a licensed fire protection engineer or your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
