What a custom home design project looks like here

Addison is a 4.4-square-mile incorporated town wedged between Dallas, Farmers Branch, and Plano -- it has the highest restaurant-per-capita ratio in Texas and a tax base disproportionate to its small residential footprint.

Because the town's building code adoption lags Dallas by one cycle (2018 IRC vs Dallas 2021 IRC), some prescriptive-path remodel scopes pass here that would fail across the street in Dallas.

The Addison Airport noise-abatement overlay covers parcels in the southern half of the town -- bedroom and home-office additions in the overlay require enhanced acoustic insulation per the FAR Part 150 study compliance.

Ground-up residential — design through Dallas BID permit through CO. Expansive clay requires geotech + pier-and-beam or post-tension slab. In Addison specifically, 1980s-2000s townhouse + condo + scattered 1970s-1990s detached single-family in pocket subdivisions stock means custom home design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Dallas scoping flow factors addison is a separate municipality -- separate building code adoption from dallas and addison adopted 2018 irc + 2021 iecc -- slightly older code stack than dallas 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.
