Simon Waldren is the founder of Apex Wiring Solutions, which he established in Australia in 2012.

Simon has 25 years of experience in the Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and Modular Construction Industry. Through working in several key roles in construction, Simon quickly became an advocate and adopter of MMC and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).

During the last decade, Simon has had great success in the Prefabrication of Building Services through the introduction of APEX Wiring Solutions. This system has been used on many iconic projects across Australia and New Zealand, including hospitals, hotels, schools and government, plus various commercial and residential applications. Simon is particularly proud of Apex’s involvement in the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) project, which achieved the building industry’s highest honour for sustainability – a 6-star Green Star Healthcare v1 rating. 

Simon is an active advocate for prefabrication and integrated design processes. He contributed to the Handbook for the Design of Modular Structures, released in May 2017, and is proud to be part of the next generation of forward-thinking construction professionals.
