For QBCC-licensed pool fence contractors

Repair quote requests from homeowners who have just checked their pool

When a homeowner's pool check finds a gate, latch or fence panel that needs attention, they can ask you for a repair quote. They can also ask you about new fencing or an upgrade straight from your listing.

The demo is your own private copy with made-up example data. No sign-up, and it's deleted automatically after about a day.

There is no charge to claim a listing, and quote requests are no charge for the first year.

What you get

A listing, an inbox for quote requests, verified reviews and invoices, in one app.

  • A listing already built for you

    Fencing contractors on QBCC's public licence register (an extract from October 2026) have a listing built from it. Licences the register shows as suspended or cancelled are not listed, and status should always be checked on QBCC's public search. Claim yours to add your business name, phone, website, services and service area.

  • Quote requests from homeowners

    Each request has the homeowner's name, contact details, suburb and message, and goes only to you. You get an email alert with no customer details; sign in to read it.

  • The repair, up front

    If the homeowner agrees, the fence, gate and barrier items they marked as needing attention come with the request, with their notes and photos, for that quote only. They are the homeowner's own observations, not an inspection result.

  • Verified reviews

    Homeowners whose request you marked as booked or done can leave a review, and you can reply publicly. Reviews help your place in the listings.

  • Quotes and invoices

    Connect your own Xero file and create quotes and invoices from PoolPreCert. Your accounting software numbers them, applies GST and takes payment. QuickBooks is coming soon; Xero works now.

  • Listing stats

    See profile views, phone taps, website clicks and requests over the last 30 days.

A picture of the idea, from the homeowner

Homeowners can picture a fence or gate in their own yard using their own AI assistant, then choose to send that picture with a quote request. It is only ever sent if they choose to, and you see it labelled as a homeowner-supplied AI illustration.

After: A backyard with a freeform pool, first with no fence and then with a black aluminium tubular fence and gate added around it. AI-generated example. Not a real property, design or quote, and not a barrier that meets Queensland pool fencing standards. A licensed inspector decides whether a pool meets the standard.

These examples were made with AI by PoolPreCert and are not real properties or work by any business. A homeowner's picture is an illustration to start a conversation, not a design or quote.

Tools for quoting and keeping track of customers.

  • Price list and quote builder

    Keep your own price list (import it from a CSV), then build a quote from fence type, metres, gates, corners, hardware and labour, or start from a homeowner's request. The quote is created in your Xero, which handles GST.

  • Suppliers near you

    Browse suppliers near you, rate them, and email a materials list to ask for a quote.

  • Customer address book

  • Comfortable to use

    Dark mode and a change history with undo.

Faster quoting, easy to share

Less typing between a request and a booked job.

  • Today screen

    Open the app to your next job, call-backs, quotes waiting and expiries. Next-best-action cards suggest what to do next, a two-tap add and quick note are on every screen, and lists have swipe actions.

  • Customer link

    Send a customer a private link to a page with their bookings, quotes, invoices and recorded certificate dates. No sign-in is needed, the link expires, and you can switch it off at any time.

  • Reports and exports

    Pick a date range and look at quotes and invoices, jobs, completed inspections or certificate expiries, then download a CSV or PDF. Share the quotes and invoices report with your accountant by a private link, or take everything with you in one ZIP.

  • Shared request inbox

    Say who is looking after each request and leave a team note only your team can see. A plain table shows what each role can do.

Quotes and jobs, done properly

From the first quote to the final invoice.

  • Good, Better and Best quotes

    Offer options on one quote. Each option becomes its own quote in Xero, so the customer accepts one.

  • Job templates and checklists

    Start a job from a template for its type, with a tick-list for the person on site. Starter templates are one tap away. They are prompt lists, not the QBCC inspection record.

  • Status colours and waiting-on tags

    The schedule colours jobs by stage, from to schedule to done, and a waiting-on tag shows when a job is held up by the customer, parts, quote approval, access or payment.

  • Site notes and photos before you arrive

    Keep gate quirks, access notes and pinned site photos with the property, and see them on the job and in the schedule before you get there.

  • One-tap call, text and directions

    Call, Text and Directions sit beside each phone number and address on customers, jobs and the schedule. In your request inbox the Call button comes first and Text and the other actions sit under More. Text opens your own messaging app.

  • Before and after photos with marks

    Show before and after photos side by side and mark them with circles, arrows and text.

  • Job costing

    Record hours, materials and other costs against a job and see profit and margin, with GST taken out.

  • Optional follow-ups

    Switch on one email reminder for a quote with no answer and one for an unpaid invoice. They are off until you turn them on, and each goes once.

Teams and bookings

Keep the crew and the customers in step.

  • Team scheduling

    Give jobs to team members, see each person's schedule and Today list, set each person's hours and days off, and get a warning with a one-tap fix when two jobs clash once travel time is allowed.

  • Repeating jobs and planned dates

    Book the same visit again on a pattern, such as a fortnightly service. Choose how often (every week, every 2 weeks, every month, every year or every number of days) and when it ends. Dates not booked yet show as Planned, and you can change one visit or every one after it. A repeat emails the customer only if you tick the box for that repeat, and planned dates show in your calendar link as tentative events.

  • Best order for the day

    Put the day's jobs in a sensible order by suburb, then open the route in your phone's maps app. The order only changes when you press the button, and a kilometre saving is shown only when the new order is shorter.

  • Customer booking page

    Switch on a booking page and customers pick an open time. It arrives as a request you approve, move or decline, and it is never confirmed automatically unless you choose that.

  • Site photos shown before you arrive

    Pin photos to a property so they show on later jobs there, before you arrive.

Approvals from agencies

Know when a job is a go.

  • See when your quote is approved

    When an agency records that it approved your quote, you see it on the job in your app.

Your own link, QR code and button

Put PoolPreCert's self-check on your own website, email signature or Facebook page.

Businesses whose plan or trial includes requests get a personal link, a QR code and a printable poster, plus a simple button to put on their own website, email signature or Facebook page. It is included in the plan with no extra charge.

Someone who uses it does their own self-check, which is not an inspection, and can choose to send the result to your business. You see counts of how many times it was opened and how many requests came in, not who looked.

Only a licensed pool safety inspector decides whether a pool meets the standard. If someone sends you a result, you can offer to quote for work, and you give no verdict on the pool.

How to set up the Website button

How it works

  1. Claim your listing

    Search for your QBCC licence number or business name, sign in with a pool fence contractor business account and add your details. We check your licence on QBCC's search, usually within 2 business days.

  2. Turn on requests

    Tick the pool fence services you offer, set your service area and switch on quote requests. Contractors who tick a pool fence service are shown ahead of listings that haven't.

  3. Quote and get reviewed

    Contact the homeowner, quote the work, and mark the request as booked or done so they can leave a review.

Homeowners can ask you to contact them, even before you join. Any homeowner with an account can ask a listed pool fence contractor to contact them. Those requests wait for up to 60 days. Before you have claimed your listing you see only how many have asked, and nothing is sent to you or shared with you. Once you have claimed your listing, the waiting requests appear in your inbox with the homeowner's name, contact details and suburb, and you contact them directly. We do not promise that homeowners will keep asking.

Quote requests are no charge for the first year. After that they may become part of a PoolPreCert membership; we will tell you well before anything changes. Licences come from QBCC's licensed contractors register. PoolPreCert is not affiliated with QBCC. See the pool fence contractor directory.

Common questions

What does it cost to claim a listing?

There is no charge to claim a listing. Contractors on QBCC's public licence register (an extract from October 2026) already have a listing built from it. Licences the register shows as suspended or cancelled are not listed, and status should always be checked on QBCC's public search.

Do I pay for quote requests?

Quote requests are no charge for the first year. After that they may become part of a PoolPreCert membership. We will tell you well before anything changes. There are no commissions or per-job fees.

Which fencing licences are listed?

QBCC has no licence class just for pool fencing. Its swimming pool licence class includes pool fencing, and fences are also built under structural landscaping licences. We list holders whose QBCC class is fences, or whose business name says they do fencing. If your business isn't listed, add it from the app and we will check your licence on QBCC's search.

Why are some contractors shown first?

Listings that have been claimed and that tick a pool fence service are shown ahead of listings that haven't, so homeowners see contractors who say they do pool fences. Payment never changes the order.

What is in a quote request?

The homeowner's name, contact details, suburb and message, and what they need (a repair, new fencing or an upgrade). If they agree, a repair request also includes the barrier items they marked as needing attention, with their notes and photos, shared for that quote only. These are the homeowner's own observations, not an inspection result. A homeowner can also choose to attach an AI illustration they made of the fence or gate they have in mind. It is labelled as a homeowner-supplied illustration, and it is not a design, quote or measurement.

Can the homeowner take it back?

Yes. If a homeowner withdraws a request, you lose access to it straight away, including the shared items and photos.

Can I put the self-check on my own website?

Businesses whose plan or trial includes requests get a personal link, a QR code and a printable poster, plus a simple button to put on their own website, email signature or Facebook page. Someone who uses it does their own self-check, which is not an inspection, and can choose to send the result to your business. You see counts of how many times it was opened and how many requests came in. It is included in the plan with no extra charge. Only a licensed pool safety inspector decides whether a pool meets the standard, so you give no verdict on a pool and can offer to quote for work.

Does PoolPreCert certify my work?

No. PoolPreCert forwards requests. Only a QBCC-licensed pool safety inspector can decide whether a pool barrier meets the standard.
