What a full home renovation project looks like here
Oude Zijde contains Amsterdam's two surviving medieval wooden houses (Begijnhof 34 and Zeedijk 1), and any structural work within 50m triggers RCE federal heritage protection with an 8-week mandatory pre-application archaeological literature review.
Because Oudezijds Voorburgwal was the city's earliest 14th-century commercial canal, soil layers below 2.4m depth contain medieval wharves and middens classified as Archeologisch Monument category Va — basement excavation here needs Bureau Monumenten + Archeologie deskundige supervision at EUR 12-18K per project.
The Oude Zijde Wallen district carries APV escort-zone overlays that affect contractor parking and skip-bin placement — work between 22:00-06:00 needs nachtontheffing permits issued by Stadsloket Centrum on a per-project basis.

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.
