A construction house, by design.

Privately held. Family-owned. UAE-rooted. Single-country in execution; modern in posture.

A privately held UAE construction house. Forty-seven years building this country — from structure to surface.

Al Madar MGM combines the engineering discipline of a contractor with the craftsmanship of a finishes atelier. Founded in Dubai in 1979, we deliver 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.

Forty-seven years, counted.
