Our Team

Working closely with Ken, they ensured each project met the highest standards. Over time, he had developed a distinct vision for KWA—one that aimed to redefine building surveying in Victoria by focusing in on a client and compliance-driven approach. This motivation was to a new benchmark for excellence in the industry.

Over the past few years, he's had the privilege of steering KWA toward this vision, evolving it into a business that upholds its core values while enhancing the way KWA operates. KWA is known for delivering efficient, compliant, and effective project outcomes, ensuring clients can have peace of mind knowing their properties are not just safe, but exceptionally built.

While Ryan remains hands-on, working closely with clients and overseeing the day-to-day operations, the success of KWA is built on the incredible team he works with. Their dedication and expertise allow him to focus on steering KWA into the future, confident that the business is in capable hands as they continue to grow and evolve.

Ken has always taken great pride in the long-term relationships he’s built with clients and the significant financial benefits he’s been able to provide them over the years. His deep knowledge of building regulations has helped clients navigate complex challenges, such as the removal of sprinkler systems and exemptions from Town Planning design restrictions. Ken is relentless in his pursuit of finding the most economical and efficient solutions, exploring every possible avenue and ensuring all issues are addressed. The satisfaction Ken derives from completing a project goes beyond simply ensuring compliance; it’s about knowing that the building is now fully compliant for both the present and future owners.

Ken’s passion for both his work and personal life is evident. Outside of KWA, he met his wife, Vanessa, at the Horsham Show while competing in equestrian show jumping. Together, they have developed a purpose-driven breeding program, which includes training and competing in show jumping events. When not focused on the business, Ken and Vanessa travel across the state, competing and embracing their shared love for sport. Their active lifestyle—both mentally and physically—reflects their commitment to living with passion and energy, which fuels their continued success in business, sport, and their relationship.
