Competition vs PlanSafe®
Why choose PlanStudio®?
See why fire safety professionals and drafting teams choose PlanStudio® instead of CorelDRAW for evacuation diagrams and building safety plans.
Unlike generic graphic design tools, PlanStudio® is purpose-built for fire safety compliance, evacuation diagrams and building floor plans.
Should you make the switch?
Is PlanStudio® the right tool for your workflow?
Many drafting teams start with tools like CorelDRAW or CAD software because they’re familiar. But as projects scale and compliance requirements increase, generic design tools can become difficult to manage.
PlanStudio® simplifies the process by providing a purpose-built platform for creating compliant evacuation diagrams and building safety documentation.
Instead of juggling files, layers and formatting rules, teams work from a single, structured system designed specifically for fire safety planning.

7x faster floor plan creation
PlanStudio® is designed to streamline how evacuation diagrams and building plans are produced.
By working from a single digital master floor plan, updates are automatically reflected across all outputs — reducing repetitive drafting and saving time.
Many teams report producing evacuation diagrams up to seven times faster compared with traditional graphic design tools.This means more time spent on client work and less time managing files.
“My biggest advantage is being involved in the process from the beginning – walking the site, identifying exits and assembly areas, and then creating the diagrams directly in PlanStudio®. Using a tablet, the entire process can be done while walking through the building. It makes it much easier to answer questions about the site’s emergency management plan.”
Created by drafters for drafters
PlanStudio® was built specifically for professionals who create evacuation diagrams and building safety documentation.
Unlike general design tools, it brings everything together in a single system built around digital building data.
With PlanStudio® you can:
- Maintain master floor plans across multiple outputs.
- Generate compliant evacuation diagrams instantly.
- Create visual asset registers, hydrant and sprinkler plans.
- Export and manage DXF and other plan formats.
Because every output is connected to the same master plan, updates are reflected automatically across diagrams and documents.
“PlanStudio® has made us more organised, more efficient and more standardised in how we approach our work. Our templates and icons all look the same, and we can switch drafters mid-project because everything follows the same visual standard.”
One source of truth for building plans
PlanStudio® replaces fragmented drafting workflows with a centralised system for managing building floor plans and safety diagrams. Teams can:
- Maintain a single master floor plan.
- Produce evacuation signage ready for publishing.
- Store and manage plans in a secure cloud repository.
This ensures diagrams remain accurate, consistent and easy to maintain over time.
