What a custom home design project looks like here

Rollingwood is a small incorporated city within the Austin metro — separate permit process, separate building code.

Because Rollingwood has architectural review, permit timeline is 2-4 weeks longer than Austin-proper.

The city sits on Hill Country limestone with specific foundation engineering patterns.

Ground-up residential — design through DSD permit through CO. Subchapter F McMansion ordinance + Heritage Tree + Impervious Cover limits apply. In Rollingwood specifically, traditional stock means custom home design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Austin scoping flow factors separate incorporated municipality and rollingwood building code + architectural review 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.
