When Raji Daou first envisioned DMDC, it was less about chasing market share and more about creating something meaningful—design-led homes that would stand the test of time. In our exclusive interview with the CEO, Daou reflects on those early days when the company was little more than an idea on paper. “We weren’t thinking in numbers,” he says. “We were thinking in impact.”

Fast forward to today, and DMDC is a powerhouse with a team of over 800 design and construction company professionals. How did they scale so quickly? Daou credits the company’s culture of accountability and agility. “We’ve built systems that allow us to grow without losing control,” he explains, adding that DMDC’s success is as much about people as it is about process.

A major milestone in their journey is the launch of DMDC Estates, a new division that Daou says will set a new benchmark for high-end living. And the momentum doesn’t stop there. The company is expanding its headquarters to support operations, along with a fully equipped in-house joinery facility to enhance quality and timelines.

As for what’s next? Daou offers a glimpse into the future: a robust pipeline of developments across in-demand communities, and a laser focus on delivering value without compromising design. “We’re just getting started,” he smiles.
