Exterior restoration in Rose Bay
Rose Bay is Woollahra Council's federation queen anne submarket. Rose Bay's harbour-frontage strip (New South Head Road south side, Wunulla Road, Tivoli Avenue) sits inside the Foreshore DCP plus the Sydney Harbour Catchment SEPP — most rear-extension scopes here need both an overshadowing report and a foreshore-impact assessment.

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
