About us
A building company rooted in the trade
Borges Construtora was born from the hands-on experience and technical training of its founder, Diego Borges.
Who we are
The story began in 2007 in the state of Goiás, Brazil, where Diego Borges founded his first company, MDR Construtora, with a clear purpose: to turn plans into real homes, well built and delivered on time.
Diego Borges started out at the age of 13, learning the bricklaying trade from his father. Since then he has built a career shaped by experience on site, technical training and a commitment to quality. Today he combines that hands-on knowledge with an engineer's perspective in running every project.
