General construction in Homestead

Homestead is City of Homestead's post-andrew rebuild + master-planned subdivision (1993-present) submarket. Homestead was Hurricane Andrew's ground zero in 1992 — almost the entire residential stock was rebuilt after, so the city is a de facto post-Andrew building-code laboratory.

What a general construction project looks like here

Homestead was Hurricane Andrew's ground zero in 1992 — almost the entire residential stock was rebuilt after, so the city is a de facto post-Andrew building-code laboratory.

Because rebuild was post-1993, HVHZ NOAs and modern wind-load standards apply uniformly across the housing stock.

Agricultural-edge parcels face FEMA Zone AE on canal frontage; most interior-of-block lots sit in Zone X.

Hub for all 32 services — one CGC- / CRC-licensed GC across the full project; HVHZ + FEMA + HEPB / HPB / BOA coordination on every scope. In Homestead specifically, post-andrew rebuild + master-planned subdivision (1993-present) stock means general construction scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Miami scoping flow factors separate incorporated municipality and hurricane andrew ground zero (1992) 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.
