What a general construction project looks like here

Tanjong Pagar's URA-conservation shophouse cohort runs ~700 individually-listed buildings — the URA Conservation Guidelines specify pre-1900 timber + plaster details that must be preserved on any building work, and bespoke joinery costs run S$400-650 per running m for replacement details.

Approximately 25% of Tanjong Pagar shophouses still have surviving original 1819-1900 timber structures behind plaster overlay — restoration scope routinely surfaces structural issues that weren't visible at design stage.

Hub for all 32 services — one BCA-permitted, BCA RCL-listed contractor + CaseTrust ID-accredited where consumer renovation across the project. In Tanjong Pagar specifically, ura-conservation shophouses + 2010s mixed-use towers stock means general construction scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Singapore scoping flow factors ura conservation area and ura conservation guidelines (3 styles) 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.
