Home/Who We Are/Our Story

A Vision Built on Integrity

Founded in 1999, Mouhajer International Design & Contracting (MIDC) did not just appear on the landscape; we grew with the UAE. For over two decades, Eng. Maher Mouhajer has led a mission to professionalize the intersection of design and construction.

What began at the turn of the millennium as a commitment to quality has evolved into a powerhouse firm. We spent our first two decades mastering the art of the private luxury villa and corporate fit-outs, building a quiet but powerful reputation among the UAE's elite. By the time we expanded into major hospitality renovations in 2020, we weren't just 'new entrants'; we were veterans ready to scale.
