Who offers free façade material Lunch & Learn sessions in Dubai?
OBRAS International provides complimentary Lunch & Learn sessions for architects, façade consultants and design and construction teams. Sessions can be delivered at your office, with lunch provided, physical samples and project references to support the discussion.
Whether you are comparing exterior cladding for a new concept or reviewing material choices for an active project, your session can focus on the decisions that matter to your team.
Who is the session for?
Bring together the people involved in selecting, specifying and coordinating architectural materials:
- Architects and design directors exploring façade expression, texture and panel layouts.
- Façade consultants and specification teams reviewing material information and detailing.
- Interior designers considering wall, ceiling and acoustic finishes.
- Developers and project managers evaluating design priorities and maintenance considerations.
- Contractors and technical teams discussing installation coordination.
Tell us who will attend so we can pitch the discussion at the right level.
Choose your Lunch & Learn topic
Ventilated façades and rainscreen cladding
Explore the relationship between the outer cladding, cavity and supporting construction. Discuss how the façade concept connects with panel layout, joints and fixing coordination.
Useful questions to bring: Where does the cladding meet glazing? How will corners and soffits be resolved? Which details need early coordination?
Façade material selection for UAE projects
Compare fibre cement, natural wood veneer panels, porcelain, terracotta and other architectural surfaces. Consider colour, texture, scale and intended application alongside the information needed to evaluate a product.
Bring a mood board or material shortlist to make the session more relevant to your design.
Cladding details, panel layouts and fixings
Focus on the decisions between concept and tender: visible or concealed fixings, panel grids, junctions, returns and coordination with the support system.
Use the discussion to identify questions for your next drawing review and the product information your team still needs.
Fire-performance documentation
Discuss what to ask for when reviewing a cladding proposal and how to distinguish information about an individual product from evidence relating to a façade assembly.
Project requirements and approvals must be assessed against the relevant project documentation and authority requirements.
Sustainability and material documentation
Build an enquiry checklist for environmental information, maintenance guidance and service-life assumptions. Ask which product-specific documents are available and which details need further investigation.
A useful discussion begins with a defined question: Are you comparing environmental declarations, evaluating maintenance access or considering material use and cutting layouts?
Soffits, louvers and interior surfaces
Request a session focused on the parts of the project beyond the principal façade. Discuss how exterior soffits, screening, interior wall cladding, ceilings or acoustic finishes connect with your architectural concept.
What does the session include?
The session combines a presentation, sample review and a conversation with your team. OBRAS uses material samples and project references to connect the discussion with architectural applications.

Turn the discussion into a clearer material brief
Before the session, ask your team to identify three questions they want answered. These might concern a finish, a junction or the documents needed for a specification review.
Afterwards, use the discussion to define your next steps: shortlist materials, request further samples, gather technical information or arrange a separate project consultation.
