Sustainability advice from ambition through certification and delivery.
FD Advisory Group helps developers, asset owners, contractors and project teams establish credible sustainability targets, select the right rating pathway and translate commitments into practical design, procurement, construction and evidence requirements.
Our work connects sustainability strategy with real project decisions so outcomes are measurable, defensible and capable of being delivered.
Strong sustainability ambitions can unravel during delivery.
Many projects begin with credible environmental objectives but struggle to carry them consistently through design, procurement, construction and certification. Common issues include:
FD establishes the strategy, responsibilities, evidence systems and decision pathways required to move sustainability from aspiration into delivery.

A clear pathway from objective to evidence.
Confirm the client’s objectives, contractual obligations, rating targets and measures of success.
Assess feasibility, identify material risks and select a credible strategy before commitments are made.
Translate the strategy into clear scopes, deliverables, owners, dates and evidence requirements.
Work with designers, contractors, suppliers and client teams so sustainability influences real project decisions.
Establish documentation and quality-assurance processes early rather than reconstructing evidence at submission.
Test compliance, resolve gaps, prepare submissions and support the project through audit and certification.

Sustainability outcomes are stronger when they are connected to energy strategy, commercial structure, procurement and project delivery. For integrated engagements, Om Dolasia supports energy, infrastructure and commercial workstreams, helping test the cost, performance and implementation assumptions underpinning sustainability strategies.
Honest about what certification requires.
FD provides strategy, technical advice, documentation, coordination and certification support. Final rating and certification decisions are made independently by the relevant rating authority. FD does not guarantee a particular rating or certification outcome; results depend on the project scope, design, delivery, evidence and actions of the broader project team.
Selected project experience described on this page was delivered by Camila as part of project teams in previous roles before establishing FD Advisory Group.
