Fidway provides strategic support for major investment and infrastructure projects, particularly in their early phases. We help ensure that permitting, stakeholder engagement and schedule planning progress realistically and that risks are managed effectively. We operate discreetly in the background on behalf of the client — confidentially and efficiently.

 

Our areas of expertise in Finland include: zoning procedures, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) processes and environmental permitting, the regulatory framework of nature conservation law, and stakeholder management strategies.

Project Scheduling and Critical Path Analysis

 

We review the project schedules and assess their feasibility. We identify critical paths and phase the project in a way that enables decision‑making based on reliable information.

Permitting Strategy and Navigation of Regulatory Processes

 

We prepare a project-specific permitting strategy and help navigate complex regulatory processes. We understand Finnish legislation and permitting pathways, ensuring the project proceeds smoothly through them.

Support for Consultant Procurement

 

We assist in the procurement of specialist consultants, define the requirements, and ensure that the selected partner meets the needs of the project.

External Quality Assurance

 

We act as an impartial quality assurer on behalf of the client, for example regarding the performance of lead consultants. We review documentation, procedures, and justifications to ensure the material meets the project’s requirements.

Site Suitability Analysis

 

We evaluate the risks of potential locations based on a site visit as well as authority and geospatial datasets. The service may also include interviews with landowners, local authorities, decision-makers, and other key stakeholders. The service functions as a light due diligence phase that provides confidence to proceed with more extensive studies.
 

When needed, we conduct interviews fully anonymously.
