Custom home design in Côte-des-Neiges
Côte-des-Neiges is Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce's 1920s-1960s brick low-rise apartment buildings + post-war high-rise condo towers; immigrant-arrival neighbourhood with very high housing-density submarket. Côte-des-Neiges has Montréal's highest density of 1950s-1960s apartment + condo stock, much of which still contains asbestos in pipe insulation, textured ceilings, and floor tiles — the Code de sécurité Chapter VIII requires asbestos testing before any pre-1990 finish demolition, and abatement scope on a typical 1-bedroom kitchen runs $5K-$15K.
What a custom home design project looks like here
Côte-des-Neiges has Montréal's highest density of 1950s-1960s apartment + condo stock, much of which still contains asbestos in pipe insulation, textured ceilings, and floor tiles — the Code de sécurité Chapter VIII requires asbestos testing before any pre-1990 finish demolition, and abatement scope on a typical 1-bedroom kitchen runs $5K-$15K.
The Côte-des-Neiges condo stock dating to the 1960s frequently has electrical service capacity insufficient for modern kitchens (60-100A panels vs modern 200A standard), and panel + service upgrades during renovation require CMEQ master electrician + Hydro-Québec coordination, adding $8K-$22K to most kitchen scopes.

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.
