The Value System that Propels Coteccons – Unicons into Vietnam’s Top 10 Contractors

Two Brands that Investors Trust: Coteccons and Unicons

For the second consecutive year (2024–2025), Coteccons and its member company, Unicons, have been named among the Top 10 construction contractors in Vietnam for 2025 at the Hubexo Asia Awards. This prestigious award recognizes excellence in the field of architecture and construction across Asia. The selection criteria are based on the total construction value of projects commenced in the past two years, with bonus points given to projects with registered “Green” certificates.

The criteria underscore the fact that Coteccons has achieved a “double win” at the Hubexo Asia Awards, testament to its unwavering commitment to a shared set of values. With a people-centric approach, Coteccons and Unicons consistently deliver exceptional technical standards and embrace sustainable development philosophies.

The large-scale, high-standard projects entrusted to Coteccons and Unicons by investors speak volumes about the reputation of their ecosystem.

Notable Coteccons projects include the Lego factory, Pandora factory, Suntory PepsiCo factory, Sun Urban City, and Dung Quat 2 Steel Plant, among others. Unicons, on the other hand, boasts impressive projects such as the Apache shoe factory, Hanh Phuc Hospital, Pepsico Foods factory, and Tien Bo Plaza.

These are all large-scale developments, including mega-projects like the Dung Quat 2 Steel Plant for Hoa Phat Group. The portfolio encompasses a diverse range of construction types, from factories and hospitals to commercial centers and urban areas with apartments and villas. This diversity showcases the versatile capabilities of Coteccons and the trust bestowed by investors.

“The increasing number of clients choosing Coteccons for their complex projects with stringent requirements is the most profound acknowledgment of the values we uphold,” shared Mr. Bolat Duisenov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Coteccons.

Unraveling Coteccons’ Success

To earn the title of “Industry Leader,” Coteccons strives to set new standards in the construction industry and inspire action across the sector. This guiding principle shapes the company’s strategy, driving the Coteccons ecosystem to excel in all aspects.

In terms of construction techniques, Coteccons, with its vision to become a “BuildTech Company,” heavily invests in cutting-edge technologies such as BIM, AI, IoT, and real-time project management and quality control systems.

Unlike many contractors who excel only in the physical construction phase, Coteccons establishes a synchronized control system encompassing design, management, supervision, and operation. This holistic approach ensures that construction standards are consistently met, positioning Coteccons to compete with international contractors for significant contracts.

Technology also plays a pivotal role in security and safety management at construction sites. Projects like Lotus Tower, LEGO, Pandora, and Suntory PepsiCo utilize AI-supported modern equipment, including cameras installed in crane cabins to monitor operators’ activities and systems that identify workers and ensure they wear protective gear.

Additionally, all new personnel undergo mandatory safety training before stepping onto a Coteccons construction site. The company has trained 100% of its workers in safety protocols, striving to become Vietnam’s safest construction company.

Among all the elements that constitute a strong contractor, Coteccons places people at the core. Embracing the philosophy of a “Human ‘Heart’ Company,” Coteccons prioritizes the well-being of everyone associated with its projects, from those living and working in the buildings it constructs to those residing near its construction sites. This people-first approach is evident in the company’s efforts to create a conducive work environment, develop talent, listen to its workforce, and value each and every worker.

Another strategic pillar is sustainable development—a factor that contributed to Coteccons and Unicons’ recognition at the Hubexo Asia Awards. Chairman Bolat Duisenov affirms that sustainable development is integral to Coteccons’ ethos, business ethics, and strategic actions. In addition to numerous green-certified projects, Coteccons aims to foster a sustainable ecosystem, raising awareness about sustainable practices among subcontractors, engineers, workers, and clients.

With a global vision, Coteccons is poised to make its mark on the world stage, backed by its capabilities, technology, and standards.

“Coteccons aspires not only to be the ‘Industry Leader’ but also to put Vietnamese construction on the global map. We are confident in our ability to compete with contractors from developed countries like the US, South Korea, and Japan. Our goal is to continuously raise industry standards and take on the most demanding markets,” emphasized Mr. Bolat Duisenov.
