What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here
Bal Harbour is a separate incorporated village on the Atlantic barrier island north of Miami Beach — distinct permit path, with the highest median home values in Florida.
Because the entire village sits in FEMA Zone VE (high-velocity coastal flood), every Substantial Improvement triggers full elevation to BFE + freeboard — restoration costs frequently push past the 50% threshold.
HVHZ + VE zone overlap here — impact-glazing NOAs must satisfy both Miami-Dade NOA windload and FEMA breakaway-wall criteria on lower stories.
Detached and attached ADUs allowed in select Miami 21 transects (T3-O / T4-L) and most Miami-Dade unincorporated zoning — HVHZ NOA + FEMA elevation on flood-zone parcels. In Bal Harbour specifically, luxury beachfront condo (1980-present) stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Miami scoping flow factors separate incorporated municipality and fema zone ve 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.
