Because of UBC Zone 4 seismic posture, cripple-wall retrofits are standard on major remodels.
SD ADU Bonus Program has driven substantial backyard ADU development.
Design-build integrated — CAD, elevations, DSD permit sets, Historical Resources Board coordination + Coastal Commission design review. In Clairemont specifically, mid-century ranch stock means architectural design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's San Diego scoping flow factors no coastal commission review (inland) and ubc zone 4 seismic 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.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
Clairemont architectural design projects typically run $14K–$195K. Clairemont's mid-century ranch stock, combined with no coastal commission review (inland), puts most mid-complexity projects in the $105K range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
