What a pre-construction design-build project looks like here
Koreatown runs along Bloor Street West between Bathurst and Christie — Toronto's largest Korean commercial district, recognised in the Cultural Heritage Resource Inventory.
Most Koreatown residential stock is Bay-and-Gable row housing built 1885-1920, similar in vintage to The Annex and Cabbagetown but without formal HCD designation — front-elevation alterations proceed via standard Building Permit.
Bloor-Danforth Subway corridor influence: DAs within 100m of Bathurst and Christie stations reference different parking + density controls than off-corridor lots.
Feasibility, programme, Building Permit-pathway validation before commitment — pre-application meeting with City Planning, HCD + ravine + tree screening. In Koreatown specifically, late-victorian bay-and-gable + second empire row houses stock means pre-construction design-build scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Toronto scoping flow factors bloor street west character area and obc 2024 + toronto green standard v4 tier 1 into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
