As a real estate professional having worked with Rodney Webb of AWEBBCO Swimming Pool Inspections for over 10 years now, I’m delighted to provide this testimonial for him.
I work with a number of interstate and overseas property buyers – 95% of whom don’t personally inspect the properties they purchase until after they own them. As such they rely heavily on me to be their ‘eyes and ears’ on the ground and provide them with sound, factual information and feedback when it comes to purchasing a property to occupy personally or for investment purposes.
With regards to swimming pools and pool safety inspections, Rod is part of my ‘A Team’ that I call on when the need arises.
I feel very confident in working with him. Rods communication skills are excellent and he has a true passion and a recognition of the importance of what he does – taking the time to not just clearly explain everything in detail, but the reasoning behind it. To Rod, Swimming Pool Safety
Inspections are not just a source of income!
His safety inspections are always accompanied by educated, up to date, practical advice – and the fact that he can rectify any fencing safety compliance issues raised makes for a seamless and stress free transaction for all concerned. This ensures issues raised are actually rectified, and not just put in the owners ‘too hard basket’ for a later date. His work is always completed in a good quality, workman like manner, and his follow up and follow through is second to none.
In a highly litigious field like real estate, his advice in relation to risk management of swimming pool safety is always valuable to myself and my investor clients.
Having children myself, and with many of my clients having children, their safety is not negotiable – and therefore I trust Rod implicitly both on a personal and professional level and I can’t recommend Rodney and his Swimming Pool Safety Inspection services highly enough as a worthy winner of the ‘Pool Safety Inspector of the Year’ Award.

We have had the pleasure using Rodney’s services for quite a number of our clients over the last few years. We run a real estate firm in the Redcliffe area that specialises in higher end homes, many that are in the million dollar + range. Our clients are typically no nonsense people and want a good job, they want it done yesterday and they want it done right.
In truth, many of our clients are quite exacting and quite demanding. It’s always these people we refer to Rodney.
Rodney seems to have a way with challenging people and situations that dissolves stress. Not only does he provide sound, professional advice, but he goes one step further. He provides solutions and takes the onus off the home-owner to sort it out (which is what 99% of inspectors don’t seem to do). Rodney is simply a problem solver with a smile.
His workmanship is wonderful, his timeliness is always spot on and our clients without fail have never had anything but the finest praise. I do not give out recommendations without serious thought. A better Inspector and Professional in my opinion you will not find. I highly recommend Rodney Webb from AWEBBCO for the “2020 SPASA Pool Safety Inspector of the Year Awards” and wish him the best of luck in his professional endeavours.

I am writing this letter as a personal reference for Mr. Rodney Webb in relations to the outstanding level of service he has provided our business and out clients over the past year relating to all aspects of Pool Safety Inspections. My business is concentrated within the real estate industry where we deal with pre-sale and pre-purchase Building and Pest Inspections. We refer Rodney for all our Pool Safety Inspections because of the high level of professionalism he delivers.
I have known Rodney for over 3 years and have had the privilege to see firsthand as I conduct my own building and Pest Inspections. I have found Rodney to be honest, reliable, conscientious and courteous and display a genuine concern to assist his clients with the best outcomes to obtain their own Pool Safety Certificate.
Rodney’s knowledge about pool safety legislation is highly respected within the industry and also the local community. I have personally needed to seek advice about compliance issues from Rodney and I have always been given accurate and detailed advice about understanding the new laws.
I believe that Rodney is one of the few pool safety expects and leaders in our region. With his passion about child safety and the fast that he is willing to help other inspectors fulfil their own pool safety roles.
I trust that the information provided will be of assistance and will be happy to provide further information, if required. Should you require clarification of any points or recommendations please do not hesitate to contact me.

Rodney. In all honesty, I don’t see there’s anyone else that deserves the award as much as you do.
Your professionalism, knowledge of legislation both past and present and contacts in the industry are second to none.
You have always been responsive and genuinely a clear and concise communicator on all levels, both over the phone, over email and in person.
You have made my job a lot easier mostly due to the level of details you go to in your pool safety inspections as well as the information and easy to read reports you provide.

Hi Rod, it has been a pleasure to have you service clients for the pool, pump and pool fence safety inspections over the last 10 years, and your wealth of knowledge is priceless in today’s quick-fix Facebook generation.
It’s always been a joy to watch the thorough professionalism through the upper windows, as we conduct our simultaneous build and pest inspection onsite.
It was most comforting to watch as you divulged your wealth of knowledge and experience upon our clients, then patiently addressed the question time quite assured and unruffled, often with special ‘Webb” humour that put the clients at ease.
It has also been a great thrill to have been present to many of your industry technical talks through the Master Builders ‘Institute of Building Consultants’
We thank you for your very professional service over the years and look forward to continuing to be working together in the future.
We are very confident that whatever endeavours your life track steers you towards, there will always be that very special charismatic and endearing ‘Rod’ factor that will confidentially steer the vessel through new and uncharted waters with the professional attitude and beaming smile that has turned clients into friends over the years

In December 2019, I placed my property on the market and had to organise a pool safety inspection. I was referred to Rodney via Real Estate Agent.
The booking process was seamless and t he inspection appointment was organised promptly. During the inspection, Rodney identified a number of none-confirming issues with my pool fence and pool gate. It was obvious with his thorough and easy to understand report that Rodney had an excellent knowledge of of the QBCC fencing legislation and its requirements to obtain compliance.
The communication throughout the process was fantastic and punctual. Rodney was able to offer his services to rectify some of the issues within his licensing scope and this was performed in a timely and professional manner.
Following Rodney’s involvement, I had to engage a qualified Electrician who rectified two non-comforming claimable objects. Once the pool fencing was compliant, Rodney was then able to provide the necessary Form 23 Pool Safety Certificate.
As I was very happy with Rodney’s punctuality, knowledge of the QBCC Pool Safety Legislation and his excellent service, I am therefore happy to provide this testimonial.
I trust you will be successful with the judging of your award nomination.

We were both very happy with your engaging manner and clear communication of the non-conforming pool fencing issues.
What impressed us most was your professionalism in not only identifying what rectification was required but also offering
practical, easy to implement solutions. We had felt very “at sea” going into this process, but both remarked that after your visit, we understood the way forward and had a clear plan that would be doable – not always the case in situations like this.
We would recommend your services without hesitation to other pool owners. I hope this aids your application.
Thanks & regards

I write this testimonial for Rodney Webb from AWEBBCO who carried out a consultative pool safety inspection on the property I was preparing to sell.
He duly identified several non-conformities with the existing pool fencing and advised me of such. Rodney carried out his professional services to rectify those insufficiencies and provided complacency with punctuality, efficiency and at a reasonable cost.
I felt comfortable with Rodney’s attitude and knowledge of the legislation and was put at ease.
He attended to the corralling of the glass sliding door and two pool gates and provided advice as to who to contact to install glass balustrade and a glass gate to the upper level.
He doubled back to site and suly issued the Form 23 Pool Safety Certificate on 31 October 2019.
As a very happy customer, I would be delighted to refer anyone needed certification to contact Rodney.

We would like to comment regarding Rodney Webb’s work ethic and professionalism when he assisted us with our pool certification prior to the sale of our property. Rodney went over and above any expectation we had in providing
information and assistance in obtaining the appropriate safe and secure enclosure around our pool.
It is with the greatest appreciation that we write this recommending him to any and all people who, indeed, care about the safety and security of their family and others. We cannot praise his helpfulness enough.
Thank you Rodney.

I can’t say thank you enough for Rodney Webb’s helpful and prompt advice. Rodney was referred to us by our local pool shop as someone who could assist us in getting our spa pool registered and issuing the Form 23 Pool Safety Certificate.
Rodney was super punctual in coming out and helping us with our enquiries and certification requirements. Rodney made sure we were aware of all the rules and regulations in a helpful and advisory way. He was very thorough, friendly and extremely helpful. He is one of the best local people to deal with that I have come across in our time in Queensland.
I highly recommend Rodney to anyone who is seeking swimming pool and spa fencing certification.
Thank you.

Rodney is a true professional. He always provides an excellent service for our rental properties.
Rodney deals with our requests promptly and communicates with us throughout the process, so that we are in no doubt about what to expect from his pool fencing inspection service and the costs to be incurred.
His expertise is apparent from his communications. We would not hesitate to recommend Rodney to others.

Mrs Olsen Snr. decided in 1980 to have a pool built to keep the grandchildren entertained. After researching many pool builders we contacted Rodney Webb of Perfection Pools. He gave us a detailed plan and cost and also the location of 2 other local pools he had completed. We were very impressed and decided to go ahead with Rod. It wasn’t an easy pool to excavate being mostly shale and rock.
The pool was completed on time and at the cost quoted. There was only one small problem which Rod repaired promptly at no cost. We found Rod to be very competent and honest and have no hesitation in recommending him. Our pool has been operating efficiently for 35 years and is still enjoyed by family and friends. When the pool laws were changed we contacted Rod from AWEBBCO who is a licensed pool safety inspector. After a few minor changes the pool fencing now complies with government safety regulations.

We were referred from an ex customer to contact Rod Webb of AWEBBCO Swimming Pool Inspections to have our pool certified and we were very happy with the service we received. Updating our pool safety was a smooth and effortless task, Rod was very helpful, informative and his experience and knowledge provided us with options that were realistic and affordable. I will be referring Rod to my family and friends, from the first phone call AWEBBCO Pool Inspections were professional and industry leading in Pool Safety. Many thanks

I engaged AWEBBCO Swimming Pool Inspections to ensure my pool fence was compliant with the Queensland pool safety standards. Rodney provided a prompt service and excellent knowledge of the current pool fencing laws. I would highly recommend using Rodney Webb from AWEBBCO, to ensure that compliance is achieved and make sure your pool is safe for everyone.

Thank you so much for promptly attending our required pool inspection today. It was nice to be able to rely on someone who actually turns up promptly when they say they will. I also thank you so much for your guidelines in making sure our pool meets the correct legislative requirements. Safety is so important and we need to be vigilant with regards to pools, which your thorough dedication to ensuring this happens with no grey areas was to say the least, a welcome relief.
Thanks to you, our pool now meets the regulations and we can put our hand up to thank you for your professionalism to ensure. I look forward to dealing with you again when we build our new pool, your guidance will be welcomed and we know now we don’t have to second guess anything.
Kind regards

My pool that I wanted was an unusual shape and you in fact constructed itaround 25 years ago and has stood the test of time. You had your son Paul recoat the interior surface of the pool some years ago which has kept the pool up to a high standard.
When updating the pool fencing, I did not want to make massive changes to make it pool safety compliant and loose the unique character of the area with the trees and shrubs that we have in the area. Your advice was practical and very competent and we now have a compliant situation that was economical and is aesthetically pleasing.
It’s great to deal with someone who knows the legislation and is mindful of the owner’s requirements as well. It is also good to see that your service over all the years has always been prompt and professional.
I would be happy to recommend you to my friends and acquaintances or to anyone needing professional and practical pool fencing advice and certification.

Hi Rod, We want to thank you for your professional service regarding our pool safety inspection and prompt Pool Safety Certificate. We were so impressed with your industry knowledge and your courteous and easy to understand explanation of the various laws and regulations. We are very conscious of how important pool safety is to a family enjoying their pool. Your friendly approach to all aspects of the inspection made our appointment with you a pleasure.
Honestly, as a landscaper I have heard a number of horror stories about pool safety inspectors. Thanks for making my experience a pleasure. Again, thank you for your excellent customer service. We are happy for you to record our positive feedback as we wish all pool owners to experience your first class service.
Regards,
