Bathroom renovation in Glebe
Glebe is City of Sydney Council's victorian terrace housing (1860-1900) submarket. Glebe was originally subdivided from the Anglican Church Estate in the 1820s, which left an unusually consistent grid of 5.5-7m wide terraces — most rear-extension scopes here need to engineer for sandstone-and-rubble side walls that won't accept conventional steel-beam openings without temporary works.

Glebe was originally subdivided from the Anglican Church Estate in the 1820s, which left an unusually consistent grid of 5.5-7m wide terraces — most rear-extension scopes here need to engineer for sandstone-and-rubble side walls that won't accept conventional steel-beam openings without temporary works.
The City of Sydney's Glebe Estate DCP has additional design controls on Bishopgate, Edward, Mount and Wigram Streets that override the standard Heritage DCP — front-fence height capped at 1.2m and front-garden hard-paving capped at 30%.
Foreshore DCP overlays the Pyrmont-Glebe waterline — any rear extension within 50m of the harbour edge needs a foreshore-impact assessment which adds 4-6 weeks to DA review.
Strata + heritage en-suites, full waterproofing certification — AS 3740 wet-area waterproofing mandatory, with NSW Fair Trading-licensed waterproofer required. In Glebe specifically, victorian terrace housing (1860-1900) stock means bathroom renovation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
