What a full home renovation project looks like here

Fossambault-sur-le-Lac is a separate municipality on the eastern shore of Lac Saint-Joseph, the largest natural lake in the Communauté métropolitaine de Québec; any work within 15 m of the shoreline triggers MELCCFP politique des rives review (typically 60-90 days).

Most 1900s-50s cottages were built as seasonal structures on shallow piers and are increasingly being converted to year-round — these conversions need new full-depth foundations and Section 9.36 envelope upgrades.

The municipality maintains a separate Service d'urbanisme; Permis de construction must be filed directly with Fossambault and cannot be submitted through Ville de Québec.

Quebec City whole-home gut renovations — structural, MEP, finishes — coordinated through Ville de Quebec Permis + RBQ + CNB 2020 (Quebec Edition) permitted scope on a single residential filing. In Fossambault-sur-le-Lac specifically, 1900s-1950s lakeside cottages stock means full home renovation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Quebec City scoping flow factors lac saint-joseph shoreline and melccfp 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.
