Roofing in Darlinghurst
Darlinghurst is City of Sydney Council's mid-victorian terrace housing (1860-1890) submarket. Darlinghurst has one of Sydney's highest concentrations of strata-titled inner-city apartments, so the majority of renovations here require both a DA from City of Sydney and a Section 110 (Strata Schemes Management Act 2015) common-property works approval from the owners corporation — adding 4-8 weeks before construction can start.

Darlinghurst has one of Sydney's highest concentrations of strata-titled inner-city apartments, so the majority of renovations here require both a DA from City of Sydney and a Section 110 (Strata Schemes Management Act 2015) common-property works approval from the owners corporation — adding 4-8 weeks before construction can start.
Many Art Deco apartment blocks in Darlinghurst still have original 1930s timber-framed double-hung windows; City of Sydney's DCP Heritage Provisions require like-for-like replacement, which means custom-milled cedar sashes rather than aluminium retrofits.
The narrow side passages on Darlinghurst terraces typically run 600-900mm wide, which limits crane-and-skip access for major works — most builders here programme materials delivery via foot-cart and price a 12-15% logistics premium into kitchen and bathroom remodels.

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.
