— 01 / AboutThe studio

One house. Nine disciplines.

A construction house combining the engineering discipline of a contractor with the craftsmanship of a finishes atelier.

Founded in Dubai in 1979, Al Madar MGM delivers across nine in-house disciplines: civil construction, fit-out, maintenance, specialist finishes, decorative arts, architectural concrete, decorative flooring, metal coatings and theming.

Most peers are either generalists or boutique finishers. We are both — under one roof, with a single project management discipline and a single quality regime.
