Ian Warren – Professional Profile Summary
With over 50 years in Australia’s property and construction industry, Ian has applied exceptional expertise as a professional structural and civil engineer, project manager, and property advisor to his projects, and for almost 30 years voluntarily to Ardoch.
Ian’s credentials were established through iconic Melbourne projects including VFL Park Waverley, the Victorian Arts Centre Theatre Complex, and Flemington Grandstand as the lead project structural engineer. This expertise led to international roles in London (1975) and Kuwait (1976) before co-founding Warren & Rowe (1978), which became one of Melbourne’s most respected engineering and project management consulting firms.
Owners Corporations: In 1989 Ian was the Principal Consultant and engineer for one of Melbourne’s first strata title industrial developments. After semi-retirement in 2007 he was project advisor and project manager for the complex strata-title Pran Central façade remediation project ($2 million, 2013-2017), where he also developed innovative financing solutions for their Owners Corporation.
More recent projects include a $6 million historic building renovation in Mt Martha (2019-2020) and a $2 million CBD Collins Street redevelopment (2021-2022). Ian now concentrates on selective advisory services, applying decades of experience to help navigate complex property challenges.
