Full home renovation in Nieuwmarkt
Nieuwmarkt is Amsterdam's pre-golden age 1488 de waag context submarket. Nieuwmarkt's 1980 metro-line riots resulted in the Stopera Compromise, which preserved the 17th-century block north of De Waag but allowed 1980s replacement infill south of it — the resulting parcel pattern is mixed, and renovation scope assessments here genuinely depend on whether the building predates or postdates 1979.
What a full home renovation project looks like here
Nieuwmarkt's 1980 metro-line riots resulted in the Stopera Compromise, which preserved the 17th-century block north of De Waag but allowed 1980s replacement infill south of it — the resulting parcel pattern is mixed, and renovation scope assessments here genuinely depend on whether the building predates or postdates 1979.
The 1488 De Waag central building sits on roughly 380 medieval oak piles and acts as a settlement reference monument for surrounding archeologie permits — any underground work within 75m must enrol in the BMA monumentaal-zettingsmeetnet quarterly survey.
Because Nieuwmarkt was the original 17th-century Jewish quarter (Vlooyenburg), Erfgoedwet article 7.1 ensemble protection extends to interior remnants of mikvehs and hidden synagogues that occasionally surface during basement excavation, halting work for archaeological documentation.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
