What a custom home design project looks like here
Dallas-side Park Cities-adjacent parcels avoid Highland Park town's more restrictive design review but still face Dallas Tree Protection Ordinance for any oak over 8" DBH.
Because the neighborhood's tear-down-and-rebuild cycle is aggressive (1920s Colonial Revival replaced by 2005+ French Provincial spec homes), many kitchen remodels here are on homes <20 years old with architect-of-record drawings.
The neighborhood's post-tension slab foundations on newer stock require specific plumbing-relocation protocols — cutting a post-tension cable voids foundation warranty.
Ground-up residential — design through Dallas BID permit through CO. Expansive clay requires geotech + pier-and-beam or post-tension slab. In Park Cities / Highland Park adj specifically, colonial revival stock means custom home design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Dallas scoping flow factors dallas-side parcels only and no conservation district 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.
