Cue P2·03 Pillar 02 — Exhibitions & build

Scenic & custom fabrication for events

The reveal plinth, the impossible arch, the set piece your designer swears can’t be built by Thursday. Send the drawing — we build to it, to the millimeter, with the fire certs attached.

Read-in The brief, decoded

Built to drawing. Checked to spec.

Every event in this region ends at the same bottleneck: who can actually build the thing — on time, on tolerance, with paperwork the venue accepts. Fabrication is where creative ambition meets a fire marshal, and both deserve respect. Our workshop discipline runs CNC and joinery, metalwork, scenic paint, large-format and fabric print, and the kinetic mechanisms behind reveals.

We work three ways: fabricating our own event designs, building exhibition stands and sets from your agency’s drawings with engineering feedback where something won’t survive the hall, and running prototype-and-sample programs for brands that need to touch it before they approve it. Whatever arrives on the bench leaves with a QC sheet and its certificates.

Scope What we deliver

Everything on one scope sheet

01

CNC & precision joinery

Routed, machined and hand-finished carpentry to ±2 mm — the difference a brand manager can see.

02

Metalwork & structural elements

Frames, trusses adaptions and load-bearing builds with calculations where venues require them.

03

Scenic paint & finishing

Faux finishes, automotive-grade sprays and textures that photograph like the render.

04

Large-format & fabric print

Backlit SEG fabric, vinyl, dimensional lettering — color-managed against brand standards.

05

Props, plinths & product displays

Museum-grade product presentation, secured, lit and camera-ready.

06

Kinetic & mechanical builds

Turntables, lifts, kabuki mechanisms and moving set pieces — engineered with their RAMS.

07

Material sourcing & fire certification

Venue-compliant materials with certificates supplied in the handover pack, every time.

08

Prototyping & samples

Touch-it-first programs: material boards, scale models and pre-production samples.

09

Install & derig crews

Night-shift-hardened teams who treat the venue floor like the client is watching. They are.

10

Storage & asset management

Cataloged, cased and stored between shows — your builds become a reusable asset library.

Delivered, installed, leveled — QC sheet and certificates handed over.

Safety is not a subcontract here

Every ORO project ships with its own HSE file — risk assessments, method statements and, where scale demands it, an embedded safety officer — prepared by our in-house HSE & sustainability division, not a third party found the week before doors.

Q&A Straight answers

Asked before every build

Do you build from other agencies' designs?+
Yes — a large share of our bench time is contractor work for agencies and brands. Send drawings in any state from napkin to CAD; you get a quote, engineering feedback where something won’t survive transport or the fire marshal, and confidentiality as standard.
What are your typical lead times?+
Props and plinths: 1–2 weeks. Scenic sets and stand elements: 2–4 weeks. Kinetic mechanisms and complex structural pieces: 4–6 weeks. A genuine rush lane exists for show-week emergencies — priced honestly as one.
How do you handle fire certification?+
Materials are selected against venue requirements — DWTC, ADNEC, hotels and KSA venues each have their own regimes — and every build ships with its certificates in the handover pack. Uncertified material on an event floor is how shows get shut down; we don’t gamble yours.
What does fabrication cost?+
The honest logic: materials plus machine time plus finishing level. A branded plinth might run AED 2–6k; a scenic feature wall AED 15–60k; kinetic reveal mechanisms AED 25–120k+. Send the drawing and you’ll get a line-item quote, including where a material swap saves you 30%.
Can you match an exact brand color or finish?+
Yes — color-managed print workflows and spray-booth finishing against physical brand standards, with drawdown samples approved before production. If your brand team is exacting, they’ll get along with our QC sheets.
Do you store builds between events?+
Yes — cataloged, cased and warehoused so a Q1 build becomes a Q4 asset instead of a skip fee. Asset registers track condition and refresh needs per piece.
Can you engineer moving or interactive pieces?+
Turntables, lifts, kabuki drops, motorized reveals and sensor-triggered interactions — cycle-tested in the workshop and delivered with method statements and risk assessments from our in-house HSE desk.

Your designer’s impossible thing? Send it.

Drawings, sketches or a reference photo and a deadline — you’ll get a feasibility read, a price and an honest schedule within three working days.
