Message From Our Founder
Prior to founding COASTADV, I was fortunate and grateful to have learned from and worked with some of the best minds in the fields of coastal planning, engineering, and advanced modelling. The 15 years spent at DHI Water & Environment as Senior Coastal Engineer, Country Manager, Head of Department, and Business Development Manager had allowed me to contribute to more than 60 coastal projects in 15 countries across 5 continents.
COASTADV has been established to expand coastal advisory and engineering consultancy by offering strategic inputs to wider stakeholders from Day One of any coastal, beach, and river development. Such inputs ensure informed decisions which are often overlooked during early planning, but essential for long-term business success and environmental sustainability.
We look forward to advising and supporting your project and investment initiatives.

Why Us?
We bring a unique combination of international expertise and deep local knowledge of Malaysian coastal environments. Our early-stage engagement approach sets us apart from traditional consultants, ensuring your project is built on a solid foundation from the very beginning.
01
We offer long term values through program and technical partnership.
02
Unlike conventional consultants who come in only at the design or EIA stage, we engage early—during conceptual and planning phases—helping you shape resilient, sustainable, and investment-ready projects from Day One.
03
Our strategic inputs ensure you make informed decisions based on site suitability, layout optimisation, regulatory requirements, and coastal hazards—critical factors often overlooked in early stage but essential for long-term success.
04
Our advisory is made possible from our extensive understanding and past project experience along the shoreline of Sabah, Sarawak, throughout Malaysia, and internationally.
