Our story

Why I built Trade Handy.

Passionately still on the tools.

I'm Sean Champion — a carpenter who's still on the tools every week, by choice. I built Trade Handy because I watched too many good tradies get squeezed: the same lead sold to five blokes, paying whether they won or lost, prices dumped to the floor, and chasing money they'd already earned.

Clients weren't winning either — no way to know if a quote was fair, and no protection when a job went wrong. So I built the thing I wished existed: a network that backs the tradie and protects the client. Exclusive work, fair pricing checked both ways, money held safe and paid on time, and a ladder so a cashie starting out can earn today and grow into a fully-ticketed Pro.

I'm still on the tools because I never want to forget who this is for.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What does it cost a client?

Getting a quote is free. You only pay for the work — at a fair, market-checked price — plus a small buyer-protection fee that holds your money safe until the job's done right.

How is this different to hipages or Airtasker?

We don't sell your job to five tradies, and tradies don't pay per lead or pay to lose. Each job goes to one vetted trade, the price is checked fair both ways, and the money is held safe and paid on time. Fairer for you, fairer for them.

Is my money safe?

Yes. You approve the quote and your payment is held in secure escrow — released to the tradie only once you confirm the work is done properly.

Where do you operate?

Australia-wide. Tell us your suburb or postcode and we'll match you with a vetted local who covers your area.

How are tradies vetted?

Every trade is checked before they work under the Trade Handy badge, and we hold them to a conduct standard on every job. Electrical and plumbing work is carried out by appropriately licensed partners.

I'm just starting out — can I still join?

Absolutely. Start from just $10/mo as a cashie, build your track record, gather evidence toward your tickets through our Academy & RPL pathway, and climb to Tradesman and Pro.

What tools do I actually get?

Live now, free to start: every-trade calculators that build your material list and find live local prices, the The Yard to locate materials and tool hire near you, Find-a-Trade by distance, and a Portfolio wall to showcase your work. Real tools that do real work — not just a listing.
