Glen Sim is the Founder and Director of Awesim Building Consultants, bringing more than 35 years of hands-on experience within the building and construction industry across New South Wales and Victoria.

Beginning his career as an apprentice carpenter in 1990, Glen completed his Carpentry Apprenticeship through TAFE NSW at the end of 1993, building the strong practical foundations that would shape his lifelong career in the construction industry. From an early age, Glen developed a passion for building, craftsmanship, problem solving, and understanding how quality construction should be properly designed and delivered.

Throughout his early years in the industry, Glen gained extensive hands-on experience working across residential and commercial construction projects, learning every stage of the building process from the ground up. His practical trade background provided him with invaluable real-world knowledge of construction methodology, structural systems, waterproofing, defect identification, project coordination, building compliance, and construction quality standards.

Over the following decades, Glen expanded his expertise across multiple sectors of the construction industry, developing a strong reputation for professionalism, attention to detail, and practical building knowledge. His broad industry experience has enabled him to work on a diverse range of projects involving residential homes, renovations, remedial works, commercial construction, defect investigations, and construction dispute matters.

In 2004, Glen became a Licensed Builder in Victoria, further strengthening his professional qualifications and construction management experience. After many successful years working within the Victorian building industry, Glen relocated back to New South Wales in 2011, continuing to build upon his extensive experience within the construction and building consultancy sectors.

Today, Glen operates under NSW Builder Licence Number 232673C and is widely recognised for his expertise in:

• Expert Witness Reports
• Scott Schedules
• Building Defect Investigations
• Construction Litigation Support
• NCAT Building Disputes
• Waterproofing & Structural Defects
• Quantum Meruit Assessments
• Construction Project Advisory Services

With decades of practical building experience behind him, Glen brings a unique combination of trade-based knowledge, construction management understanding, and independent consultancy expertise to every matter he undertakes. His ability to clearly identify defects, interpret construction standards, and prepare detailed professional reports has made him a trusted consultant for homeowners, solicitors, builders, developers, and property owners across NSW.

Glen is particularly respected for his independent and objective approach to building consultancy. His reports are prepared with careful attention to factual accuracy, compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC), relevant Australian Standards, and industry best practice. His experience allows him to assess complex building matters with both technical precision and practical construction understanding.

Over the years, Glen has conducted inspections and investigations across Sydney, regional NSW, and remote areas throughout the state. His work regularly involves assisting clients with complex construction disputes, expert evidence preparation, mediation matters, insurance-related claims, and tribunal proceedings including NCAT matters.

Beyond his professional achievements, Glen values family, integrity, and strong personal relationships. In March 2025, Glen married Audra Starkey. Audra is the internationally recognised author of Too Tired To Cook, known worldwide for her work as an author and advocate for Healthy Shift Workers & practical family-focused living. Together, Glen and Audra share a strong commitment to professionalism, resilience, and supporting others through their respective careers and life experiences.
