What a garage conversion project looks like here

Downtown Atlanta residential is dominated by post-2000 high-rise condos + converted early-20th-century office lofts.

Because the Fairlie-Poplar Historic District (NRHP) preserves select downtown commercial blocks, loft conversions in those buildings face federal historic review.

High-rise condo remodels face strict HOA work-hour limits.

Atlanta R-5 allows garage-to-ADU conversions — Office of Buildings residential permit; UDC review on Landmark parcels. In Downtown Atlanta specifically, mixed post-2000 luxury high-rise + converted 1900-1960 office buildings stock means garage conversion scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Atlanta scoping flow factors central atlanta progress management district and fairlie-poplar historic district (nrhp) into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

Origin

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.
