What a custom home design project looks like here
Surfside is the origin jurisdiction for SB 4-D — the post-Champlain-Towers (2021) statewide milestone-inspection mandate. Permit reviewers in Surfside apply structural scrutiny well above statutory minimums.
Because most Surfside condos are now mid-recertification, common-element remodels (corridor, lobby, garage) face moratoriums until structural milestone inspections complete.
FEMA Zone VE oceanfront + HVHZ + SB 4-D overlap make Surfside one of the most heavily-regulated remodel jurisdictions in the United States.
Ground-up residential — design through Building permit through CO. FEMA-compliant Base Flood Elevation + freeboard on Zone AE / VE parcels; HVHZ NOA on every product. In Surfside specifically, mid-century beachfront condo stock means custom home design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Miami scoping flow factors separate incorporated municipality and heightened structural-review climate post-champlain towers (2021) 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.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
Surfside custom home design projects typically run $525K–$3.5M. Surfside's mid-century beachfront condo stock, combined with separate incorporated municipality — town of surfside, puts most mid-complexity projects in the $2.0M range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
