Brisbane, Australia rules Baily knows
Local regulation, already in the scope.
QBCC Contractor Licence is mandatory for any residential building work over A$3,300. License classes (Low Rise, Medium Rise, Open) gate what contract values a builder can take. QBCC home warranty insurance (QHWS) must be paid before building work starts on contracts ≥ A$3,300 — skipping this voids the homeowner's statutory warranty.
Brisbane City Plan 2014 Character Residential zone protects pre-1946 timber-and-tin Queenslanders. Demolition, relocation, and major alterations need Council approval with a Character-compatible design response. Removing a front façade or raising on stumps without assessment is one of the most common non-compliance triggers QBCC flags.
Post-2011 Flood Regulation Line + Flood Planning Area overlays require minimum habitable floor levels. Any addition or raising in the flood-affected catchment (West End, South Brisbane, Rocklea, Milton) must be designed above the Flood Planning Level. Builders must verify the overlay on Brisbane City Council's online map before quoting.

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.
