What a structural stabilisation project looks like here
Montmartre sits on a former gypsum quarry — every Permis de Construire dossier in the SPR Montmartre requires an Inspection Générale des Carrières report, and ~25% of butte dossiers find unmapped voids that require pile foundations descending 8-14 m to find competent strata.
The pre-Haussmann village fabric of upper Montmartre means many parcels have shared wells, shared cellars, and shared lightwells with no clear cadastral boundaries — surveying alone routinely takes 6-8 weeks and adds €3,500-6,000 of geomètre fees before any design work.
Paris is non-seismic — but 19th-century Haussmannian shallow-footing buildings on Lutetian limestone caves drive underpinning, micropieu, and crack-stitch retrofit work. BRGM (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques) old-mine cartography is consulted on any sub-soil works in the 5e, 13e, 14e arrondissements. In 18e Arrondissement (Montmartre / Goutte d'Or) specifically, pre-haussmann village fabric + late-19th c. faubourg + 1930s hbm stock means structural stabilisation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Paris scoping flow factors abf avis conforme and site patrimonial remarquable montmartre 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.
