Our story

Built in Abu Dhabi, since 1992.

Stars General Contracting Co. LLC (STARSCO) was established in Abu Dhabi on 23 February 1992.

For more than thirty years we have delivered projects for government, semi-government and private clients – growing through economic cycles, global downturns and the pandemic while keeping our people safe and our clients' projects on track.

Today we hold First Category classifications for Building Contracting and for Refrigeration & Air-Conditioning Works, and run certified quality, environmental and safety systems. Our group includes Wels (concrete repair specialist) and MidGulf General Contracting.

Leadership

Every challenge we have faced has strengthened one commitment: to do the work properly – safely, on time, and to the standard our clients expect.

For more than thirty years, STARSCO has been a trusted name in the UAE's construction industry. From modest beginnings, we have contributed to projects that have helped shape the country.

Our approach is simple: listen closely, plan carefully, and hold ourselves accountable for the result. As the UAE continues to grow, we are investing in our people, systems and capabilities to deliver its next generation of projects.

How we deliver

Three phases.
Seven controlled steps.

Each phase has defined outputs and is reviewed before the next begins.

01

Pre-construction

  • Project planning – goals, programme, milestones and budget baseline.
  • Design & engineering – drawing review, method statements, submittals.
  • Procurement & logistics – prequalified suppliers and subcontractors.
02

Construction

  • Execution – site teams working to approved plans and submittals.
  • Monitoring & control – progress against the critical path; cost, change orders and variations managed.
03

Handover

  • Testing & commissioning – MEP testing, third-party certification, snagging, authority approvals.
  • Close-out – O&M manuals, warranties, as-built drawings and asset registers.
QHSE & credentials

Certified systems, applied on every site.

We comply with UAE and international standards, including OSHAD: risk assessment before every project, site-specific HSE plans, continuous training, regular inspections and incident investigation.
