Most of our work is repeat work for committees, building managers and agents. Carpentry, waterproofing, tiling, plastering, painting, render and fencing under the one licence, so a scope is priced and delivered as one job rather than five.
Common property repairs and upkeep: fencing, tiling, plastering, painting, render, decks, stairs and retaining walls. Scoped and quoted as a package, delivered to body corporate requirements.
Every item on the report priced and closed out together: bollards, wheel stops, line marking, stair nosings, concrete grinding and signage. See the full list.
Reactive maintenance, bond repairs and tenant liaison. We contact the tenant, arrange access and collect keys. Experienced working to a "do not exceed", and we quote before going past it.
Failed shower, wet area and balcony membranes. We locate the ingress point before pricing the repair, then rebuild the wet area to AS 3740 so the item stays closed.
Termite, water and structural damage to framing, ceilings, decks, stairs and pergolas. Assessed first, including what is behind the sheeting, then repaired and finished.
Kitchens, bathrooms, doors and fences for unit owners and homeowners in the same suburbs. Same crew, same standard. Also grab rails, ramps and platform steps for NDIS and CHSP coordinators.
A safety report is six or eight small jobs across four trades. We price the lot, do the lot, and send one invoice.
What a committee or agent should expect from us on every job, from the first email to the last photo.
A safety audit, a defect notice, a maintenance list, or a photo and a description. Email is fine.
We look at what is causing the problem, not just what is visible, because the cause is what determines the scope.
Itemised against the report so a committee can approve it line by line. Where a "do not exceed" applies we work to it and quote before going past it.
Occupied-building practice: tenants and residents contacted, access arranged, common areas kept clear, and work areas left tidy and free of waste.
"It has been difficult, almost impossible, to find suitable tradespeople to firstly assess the issues with any degree of expertise, let alone follow through with planning, quoting, and completing the identified scope of works. Tony and his team have been incredible."

Each one titled the way the client described it. All photos are our own work.
Water escaping a shower recess or balcony rarely shows up where it starts. It tracks under the tile bed and appears in the next room, or in the ceiling below. The fault is almost always preparation at the joints and junctions before the membrane went on.
Older buildings with concrete or tiled stairs. Walking down, the edge of each step disappears in some lighting, which is a slip and fall hazard and a standard audit item.
A rental property. A roof leak had wet the untreated pine battens and the termites followed, eating the battens out and starting on the hardwood joists. The sheeting contained asbestos, so it came down under a licensed removalist before anything could be assessed.
Because of what it leaves out. Site left unsafe and spoil not removed. Gate not level. A wedge under the post base never trimmed off. One fixing per rail. Pine rails, which bow and twist within a couple of seasons.
Same suburbs, same crew.
Water wicks up an unsealed bottom edge. Every new door ships with a notice saying it must be sealed on all edges. We seal every edge in oil based enamel before it is hung.
Once a membrane is tiled over nobody can check it, and there is no cheap repair. Correct primer, leak control flange, bond breakers at the junctions, membrane 150 mm up the walls. Compliant to AS 3740, every time.
A 40 year old kitchen with 450 mm benchtops. New cabinetry in the same footprint, floor tiles and stove kept so the plumbing and electrical stayed put. Far more storage, without a full strip-out.
Handee Solutions is a licensed building company started by Tony Sumpton in 2001. Tony is on site on every major job, and the same small crew turns up each time, so the person who quoted the work is the person standing in front of it.
The work is mostly remedial: finding what has failed in a building and putting it right properly. That means an honest assessment first, including when the answer is that something is not worth doing, and a scope the committee or agent can approve line by line.
We work in unit complexes, apartment blocks, townhouses, rental houses and commercial premises across North Brisbane and the Moreton Bay region: Redcliffe, Scarborough, Brendale, Bald Hills, Dakabin, Brighton and the suburbs between.
"Tony is outstanding and I cannot recommend him enough to anyone. Tony has been completing work for myself, family members and on behalf of the building's body corporate committee for a number of years now. The quality of the work cannot be faulted, but for me what sets Tony apart is his integrity and approach. He is a man of his word."
"Our Body Corporate has had a few tricky water ingress issues that have developed over the last few years and during rain events… Tony and his team have been incredible. Just bloody good tradies who do a really great job and care about doing a good job."
"In a property management setting where access is needed to tenancies, his courtesy and punctuality when making arrangements with those tenants is also highly valued. Tony maintains a high standard of quality which ensures that his work is built to last."
"I have always found Tony to be an excellent property maintenance contractor. He can always be depended on to carry out top quality work at a reasonable price. He is honest and has always given me good advice."
"Handee Solutions did a great job painting and managing our very large fence job. They were professional in their approach, and prompt to answer any questions. Their tradesmen were courteous, always listened and followed through."
"I didn't have any renovating experience and Tony was very patient explaining what was needed and reasons for doing things. Tony was very honest and didn't hesitate to tell me if something wasn't possible and the reasons why."
"We were flooded in March 2022 with the downstairs floor of our house seriously damaged. Tony has repaired the walls, doors and other fittings and a water leak in the ceiling, his workmanship has been excellent."
"Had Tony add an ensuite to a bedroom and he was really professional, efficient and workmanship was A1 quality. Always on time and completed the project ahead of schedule."
"I have had the pleasure of utilising Tony's services on multiple occasions over the last several years. Tony went above and beyond to ensure that all my requests were completed to the highest quality."
"Thank you to Tony, Matt, and Lewis for building my new laundry! I'm thrilled with the professional workmanship and will happily recommend Handee Solutions to anyone."
