WUI Preflight for New Builds & Retrofits
For Architects, Builders, Owners & Project Teams
Resolve jurisdiction, code, envelope, and product decisions before permit sets lock—or before retrofit work begins. FireTek turns adopted WUI requirements into source-linked, field-ready next steps for architects, builders, owners, and project teams.
Code Insight. Product Judgment. Field Execution.
Blake Carney brings 30+ years in the building industry, including work as a Building Official, Plans Examiner, Inspector, and Senior Building Inspector. He understands how code language moves from plan review to field execution—and where unresolved details create delays.
Owen Carney brings building-materials, contractor-sales, operations, and product-category leadership, including overseeing multimillion-dollar departments and contractor-facing teams as a Lowe’s Specialty Assistant Store Manager.
Together, this father-son team applies specialized working knowledge of evolving WUI codes, official product listings, and current roof, vent, exterior-envelope, and retrofit options to source-linked project decisions. Blake’s FireTek work is independent and does not imply endorsement by any public agency.
