Choosing the right decorative coating for hospitality interiors in UAE climates.
How Venetian plaster, tadelakt and micro-cement behave under coastal humidity, AC cycling and direct sun.
9 min read →A privately held UAE construction house — forty-seven years of receipts, now with BIM-native delivery, digital twins and live site telemetry across active projects.
A construction house combining the engineering discipline of a contractor with the craftsmanship of a finishes atelier — delivered through a digital-first project stack.
A privately held UAE construction house. Forty-seven years building this country — from structure to surface, plus telemetry.
Al Madar MGM was established in 1979, predating modern Dubai's construction boom by a decade. We deliver across nine in-house disciplines — civil construction, fit-out, maintenance, specialist finishes, decorative arts, architectural concrete, decorative flooring, metal coatings and theming.
Today, every active site is wired. BIM 360 for federated models, Procore for project ops, Bentley iTwin for digital twins, and a custom site-IoT layer that streams progress, environment and quality telemetry to a single dashboard the client can log into at any time.
Most peers either deliver craftsmanship or run modern tooling. We do both — without compromise on either. Our oldest active maintenance contract dates to 1991; our newest active digital twin is six weeks old.
Sample of operational telemetry, refreshed at the top of every hour. Full dashboard access available under NDA to active clients.
Established 1979 — predating modern Dubai's construction boom by a decade.
From boutique hotels to palaces — civil, fit-out, decorative.
Across 14 active sites · 99.4% uptime over trailing 30 days.
Mean MEP clash count vs. pre-BIM baseline (2018 — 2025).
Civil to gilt, all in-house, all wired. Each capability streams progress, quality and HSE telemetry to your dashboard.
Low and mid-rise structures, refurbishments, additions. RCC frames, ground works, MEP, completion — federated across 14 disciplines.
Capability briefCommercial, hospitality, retail, residential. End-to-end interior delivery with daily progress capture.
Capability briefAnnual maintenance contracts, facilities, planned upkeep — backed by a live digital twin per asset. Many clients have stayed twenty years.
Capability briefVenetian plaster, micro-cement, tadelakt, marmorino. Hand-applied, hand-burnished — quality-checked through computer-vision capture.
Capability briefMurals, gilding, hand-painted ornament. 22-carat gold leaf, palladium — 100% chain-of-custody tracked.
Capability briefPolished, board-formed, exposed-aggregate. Cast-in-place finishes — formwork modelled in BIM ahead of mix-design freeze.
Capability briefEpoxy, terrazzo, resin, micro-screed.
Capability briefArchitectural metallics, patinas, brass & copper finishes.
Capability briefThemed environments — sculpted GRC, faux finishes, set design crossed with permanent construction. Modelled, twinned, signed off.
Capability briefEvery active project ships with a federated BIM model, a live site-IoT layer, and a public-facing client dashboard. Three from the current backlog.
Every mandate, regardless of sector, is delivered through the same digital stack and quality regime.
