YOUR COMPLIANCE TEAM
SIMON WALKER
Managing Director
Simon is responsible for managing the overall compliance team and ensuring the office environment is productive, engaging and an enjoyable place to work.
Simon has wide-ranging experience gained through working in the commercial and industrial construction sector since 1996.
Growing up on a sheep, cropping and cattle farm in the Wheatbelt town of Wagin, Simon is driven toward finding a practical solution to problems, understanding always that construction has to be commercially viable, as well as operationally functional and safe for occupants.
When not at work, Simon enjoys relaxing with the family, riding his bike or heading to the beach.
PHILIP BARTON MRICS & MAIBS
Principal Level 1 / Unrestricted Building Surveyor (BSP 2406)
Bachelor of Science Building Surveying
​
Alongside his role as our principal building surveyor, Philip manages construction compliance at MODUS Compliance, whereby he inspects work during construction and handover. He also assists in matters of general design compliance, energy assessments and Bushfire Attack Level assessments.
Originally hailing from Kent in the UK, Philip previously worked as a building surveyor and insurance loss adjuster. Following his move to Western Australia, Philip took on a role at the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder where he was introduced to the wide-ranging industries prevalent in that local council. His MRICS exposure to a broad range of UK projects, from historical & heritage buildings to high-end retail, means our clients can rely on our second-to-none dilapidation reports and NCC advice.
In his spare time, Philip enjoys time with his family and currently serves as a member of the Australian Air Force Cadets.
DANIEL FOREMAN MArch
Code Consultant
Master of Architecture (Curtin)
​
Daniel fulfills the important role of Code Consultant at MODUS Compliance where he leverages 13 years of experience in commercial project architecture to deliver the best compliance outcomes in consideration of the underlying design requirements.
With a well-developed passion in building compliance and the NCC, making a career change into compliance from architecture has been a relatively easy step for Daniel, allowing him to uniquely put a foot in both camps to the benefit of MODUS’ client base on complex commercial and industrial projects.
Prior to NCC assessments, as a project lead Daniel designed and managed projects across a broad base of sectors including education, early learning, emergency services, local government and group residential and has furnished him with a deep understanding of the operational imperatives that underpin effective commercial design and the challenges these sometimes pose to NCC compliance.
Outside of work, Daniel enjoys time with his young family and unwinding with a run or connecting with friends over games.
