Patrice Thomas accepted the award on behalf of Six Construct and told us about what the awards meant to him: “Six construct has been working in the UAE for more than 45 years. We’ve been using all our resources and technicality and engineering to deliver our projects on time. It’s a good recognition of the work that we’ve delivered.”
“We don’t just look at the UAE we also explore opportunities in Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi and in Abu Dhabi as well. We have a portfolio of projects in buildings but also in marine projects where we have specialised for more than a hundred years, as well as industrial projects. We will consolidate our projects in the coming year.”
