What a kitchen remodeling project looks like here
Grachtengordel-Zuid contains the Vijzelstraat office-conversion belt where 1980s-90s commercial fit-outs are now being unwound back to residential under the Gemeente Amsterdam transformatieprogramma, but every reversal triggers a Bouwbesluit niveau verbouw upgrade on plumbing risers.
Because the southern grachtengordel parcels run perpendicular to the canal rather than the more common parallel layout, almost every kitchen relocation here intersects a load-bearing tussenmuur and needs constructeur-stempel certification before VTH issues the regulier permit.
The neighbourhood's 17th-century cellar floors are typically Bremer sandstone slabs that BMA refuses to allow penetration for new geothermal WKO loops, so renewable-heat retrofits route through canal-water intake permits with Waternet instead.

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.
