What a adu / dadu project looks like here

Washington Virginia Vale is the southeast Denver neighborhood between Cherry Creek and the Cherry Creek shopping district — the 1950s-1960s ranch stock makes it a primary mid-century remodel + ADU-conversion market.

Cherry Creek floods at the south edge of the neighborhood — base-flood-elevation compliance applies on remodel scope exceeding 50% of pre-improvement value on south-edge parcels.

WVV (as locals call it) has Denver's highest concentration of split-level homes — the 1960s split-level remodel pattern (open-up the partial walls between levels) is the dominant scope here.

Denver Zoning Code permits ADUs by-right in most residential zones; permitting through Denver CPD with a 35 ft height + FAR cap and a soils report on basement-level units. In Washington Virginia Vale specifically, 1950s-1960s ranch + split-level + mid-century stock means adu / dadu scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Denver scoping flow factors denver zoning code e-su-dx + e-su-d and denver adu expansion 2023 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.
