What a custom home design project looks like here
West Miami is one of Miami-Dade's smallest incorporated cities — about 1.0 square miles, with its own Building Dept and ARC.
Because the city is small and ARC reviewers are local, exterior scope review is fast and personal.
Most parcels sit in FEMA Zone X — Substantial Improvement triggers are uncommon here vs eastern coastal hoods.
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 West Miami specifically, mid-century ranch stock means custom home design 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.
