Default External Finishes

Hi there Steve here...
I recently worked in Kuwait on a massive mall where i was the external finishing foreman responsible for the correct application of EIFS (External Insulation and Finishing Systems) basically posh rendering. I have been trawling the jobs boards for something similare in Dubai or indeed anywhere in the UAE as I am sure these finishes are now used all over the middle east as they are a very cost effective way of keping the buildings cool during the day and warm at night... doeas anyone here know if such systems are being used in the UAE now? and if so who are the major companies using these finishes...

regards
Steve

i'd approach the major construction companies if I were you... your average ex-pat wouldn't be able to recognise EIFS against a normal render... I don't think I would either, tbh.

Smile Re: External Finishes

When i worked in Kuwait in 2001 the new finishes were just being introduced and were starting to take off a lot but there wasnt the trained labour to apply the stuff... this is where I came in...
Work is dead now all over Europe but seems to be booming in the middle east so im looking to come back over preferably as a trainer... if anyone out there knows of any companies i should approach could you let me know please, a link to the manufacturer would help also as they must need professionals to demonstrate their products.
Thanks in antisipation

steve
