The story of Al Maeraj began in 1974 with a simple yet profound dream my father, Abdeali Yusufali Fanaswala, envisioned – to create structures that carry meaning, not just for today but for generations to come. I joined him in January 1976, working alongside a dedicated team of just 20 members under the name Saifuddin Contracting Company & General Trading.
From those humble beginnings, our journey has been one of growth, transformation, and unwavering commitment to excellence. In 1983, we rebranded as Al Maeraj Contracting and General Trading and established our headquarters in Ajman, with operations extending to Dubai. By 1996, evolving regulations required us to obtain a separate work permit for Dubai – a challenge we embraced as part of our expansion.
A major turning point came in 1992 when Al Maeraj became an LLC, partnering with five like-minded visionaries who shared our goals. Together, we expanded to Sharjah and Abu Dhabi by 2010, further solidifying our presence in the UAE. In 2016, we took a bold step into the global market, launching our first overseas operations in Iraq – a milestone that set the foundation for future international
growth.
Every project we undertake is more than just a structure; it’s a reflection of our core values: integrity, excellence, and innovation. Whether crafting family homes or building thriving business spaces, each endeavor carries the legacy of our dedication and vision for the future.
This journey would not have been possible without the trust of our clients and the relentless efforts of our team. Together, we’ve built more than just buildings – we’ve fostered relationships, created legacies, and contributed to the evolving skyline of the UAE.
As I look to the future, my vision remains steadfast: to lead Al Maeraj with passion, purpose, and a commitment to making our mission and vision familiar to everyone we touch. With each milestone, we honor the past, embrace the present, and build a future that inspires generations to come.
