What a new home construction project looks like here
Meyerland experienced the worst Harvey 2017 flooding of any major Houston neighborhood — 4,000+ homes flooded, driving the largest post-flood elevation + replacement cycle in the city.
Because FEMA substantial-improvement rule requires any renovation over 50% of pre-flood value to bring the entire home to current code — including floodplain elevation — most major Meyerland remodels involve full elevation of the structure.
Elevating a typical 2,200 sqft Ranch adds $75K-$200K to project scope — a cost many owners factor against tear-down-replacement.
From empty lot through CO — deed-restriction compliant, permit-aware, inspection-scheduled. In Meyerland specifically, mid-century ranch stock means new home construction scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
