What a seismic retrofit project looks like here
Allandale is one of Austin's earliest post-war planned subdivisions (1948-1965) — uniform Ranch stock + mature tree canopy.
Because the HOME Initiative permits 3 units per lot, Allandale is seeing active ADU + duplex conversion.
The 1950s slab-on-grade + original electrical panels universally need 200A upgrades.
Austin is low-seismic — but limestone-bearing-wall retrofits + expansive-clay pier upgrades apply to pre-1945 stock in Hyde Park / Clarksville. In Allandale specifically, mid-century ranch (1948-1965) stock means seismic retrofit 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.

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.
