What a kitchen renovation project looks like here

Black Rock cliffside cohort sits inside CEHA + SLO simultaneously — geotechnical + visual-impact studies are routine pre-DA.

Mid-century modernist examples in Black Rock are smaller-format than Beaumaris but face the same HO37 demolition-control regime.

Period terrace + Federation kitchens — Council Building Permit, AS/NZS 3000 wiring, AS/NZS 5601 gas, Energy Safe Victoria sign-off. In Black Rock specifically, mid-century modernist + inter-war + post-war + knockdown-rebuild stock means kitchen renovation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Melbourne scoping flow factors heritage overlay ho37 (partial) and coastal erosion hazard assessment 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.
