Peter Riddoch on the record (Damac, Dubai)

Damac CEO Peter Riddoch tells his side of the story to Construction Week in an exclusive, no-holds barred interview on Damac’s new projects and why it courts controversy.

Is this a good time to launch projects?
Some people will look at a glass that is half empty. We will always look at it half full. When you do that, you’re more able to find positive ways to move forward.

And what is the new scheme?
Something that we’ve been working on pretty hard, particularly during 2009, is what we call our Recovery Program. We’ve been very committed to the construction and delivery timetable of our projects; in fact we called last year the year of construction.
