What a custom home design project looks like here

Crestview is a tight-knit 1950-1965 Ranch neighborhood with active civic engagement.

Because of HOME Initiative, many owners are exploring ADU + duplex conversion as density upzones.

The neighborhood's compact layout + ADU potential drives remodel demand.

Ground-up residential — design through DSD permit through CO. Subchapter F McMansion ordinance + Heritage Tree + Impervious Cover limits apply. In Crestview specifically, mid-century ranch stock means custom home design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Austin scoping flow factors no historic district and subchapter f mcmansion ordinance 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.
