What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here
Devonshire is one of the oldest Conservation Districts in Dallas (designated 1998) — specifically to slow tear-down-replacement on its 1940-1965 Tudor + Colonial Revival stock.
Because the CD scale rules are strict (existing-footprint + 500 sqft or 110% whichever less), most additions here are rear-yard expansions rather than whole-house tear-downs.
The neighborhood's post-2000 replacement homes have post-tension slab foundations that are incompatible with many older kitchen-relocation patterns — any plumbing through the slab requires x-ray cable mapping.
Dallas R-5(A) / R-7.5(A) / R-10(A) residential zones allow ADUs by-right since the 2022 code update — Dallas Building Inspection Division files the permit on a residential template. In Devonshire specifically, tudor stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Dallas scoping flow factors devonshire conservation district and tree protection 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.
