Resin flooring in The Rocks

The Rocks is City of Sydney Council (Place Management NSW oversight)'s sydney's oldest sandstone heritage stock — georgian (1830-1850) submarket. The Rocks is Sydney's only neighbourhood where every individual property is on the State Heritage Register — so any work beyond minor maintenance requires a Section 60 (Heritage Act 1977) approval from Heritage NSW, which is a separate state-level consent on top of the City of Sydney DA.

What a resin flooring project looks like here

The Rocks is Sydney's only neighbourhood where every individual property is on the State Heritage Register — so any work beyond minor maintenance requires a Section 60 (Heritage Act 1977) approval from Heritage NSW, which is a separate state-level consent on top of the City of Sydney DA.

Many Rocks cottages retain hand-cut Sydney sandstone walls with lime-mortar bedding from the 1830s-1850s — repair specifications must use lime mortar matched to the original; cement-based mortar is treated as a 'reversible-only intervention' and rejected at heritage assessment.

Place Management NSW (formerly the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority) operates The Rocks as a precinct-level place — planning consents here are coordinated with the precinct strategy, which adds typically 8-14 weeks to a standard residential DA timeline.

Epoxy and polyurethane resin floors — garages, basements, mews-house workshops, commercial industrial. In The Rocks specifically, sydney's oldest sandstone heritage stock — georgian (1830-1850) stock means resin flooring scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
