Pierre-Eric Saint-Andre has no problem showcasing the iconic developments Bouygues Bâtiment International and Dragages Hong Kong have built throughout the Asia–Pacific region. After all, landmarks such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, Bangkok’s MahaNakhon or Morpheus in Macau need no introduction. It’s the name of the company that triggers confusion.
“No-one knows how to say Bouygues,” PierreEric says. “It’s why my first slide in any presentation mentions that Bouygues is actually the name of the French family who has owned the company since its creation in 1952 and is pronounced B-W-E-E-G.”
Pierre-Eric, previously Managing Director at sister company Bouygues Energies et Services in Paris, moved to Hong Kong in 2017 to take up the role of Chairman of Dragages Hong Kong and CEO of Bouygues Bâtiment International in Asia–Pacific, subsidiaries of Bouygues Construction. In Hong Kong, the company operates under the name of Dragages, acquired in 1986, while in Australia it’s AW Edwards, which was acquired in 2018.
Recent projects include the Bangkok Banyan Tree Residences Riverside, Singapore’s CapitaSpring, Sydney’s Ken Rosewall Arena upgrade, Manila’s Ayala Triangle Gardens and in Hong Kong, the Central Kowloon Route, the Trunk Road T2 Tunnel and Airport Authority Office Tower.
