What a hillside construction project looks like here
Boulder University Hill is the oldest residential neighborhood in Boulder — the 1880-1940 Victorian + Bungalow + Tudor stock surrounds the University of Colorado Boulder campus.
Because Boulder enforces the strictest energy code in Colorado (above the 2024 IECC state baseline), Boulder remodels routinely add 4-8 weeks vs comparable Denver CPD projects.
Boulder is its own jurisdiction with its own Landmarks Board — University Hill Historic District designations are separate from Denver's LPC + use Boulder-specific design guidelines.
Foothills construction (Lookout Mountain, Genesee, Conifer, Evergreen) — geotech soils report + WUI fire-hardening + slope-stability engineering required. In Boulder University Hill specifically, victorian + bungalow + tudor (1880-1940) stock means hillside construction scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Denver scoping flow factors boulder energy code and university hill historic district (boulder landmarks board) 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.
