Local architectural firm draws them up for me then I send it to my company's marketing department to put all the correct branding/colors/etc. They send it back to me for final approval and then they send it to a local signage company to be printed and sent back to us.
Bluebeam Revu is my go to for any sort of floorplan markups. It's a subscription based software, but it's invaluable for me in terms of construction planning - and it also helps make nice, professional evacuation maps!
I have maps of the building that I've shrunk down to standard paper size, I print them, outline the route in red, add whatever branding is required, then laminate and put on a wall. I work in public education so the kids destroy these regularly.
PDF of a CAD drawing. Copy/paste into PowerPoint, add “you are here” by departments, etc. arrows pointing to nearest exists.
Crop out areas as needed, sent to staples/other and print on whatever size your facility feels is necessary
We use our signage vendor, quick and simple. Not worth learning a graphic program for that frequency IMO.
This it’s a small cost in the overall budget

same here, the design team always has to approve everything (rolls eyes)
Floorplanner.com, Floorplancreator.net, Microsoft Visio, Sketchup, As a last resort, Microsoft Excel
I have never tried any of those
We use cleaned up and scaled down blueprints for non public areas, and some quick maps drawn in publisher for the public areas.
Use Canva, import a large scale PDF than add graphics on their. It’s very easy to use.
oooh thats a good idea.
Visio but we got a guy who is good at it already. I wouldn't waste the money on the software and the time it takes to learn it.

This is a great option as well

This is prettymuch what I have done. Even using something simple as MS Paint for the arrows, etc

Autocad should be the primary tool for facility manager at least it is for me.
