Exterior design in University Endowment Lands
University Endowment Lands is Metro Vancouver — UEL's 1920s-1970s tudor + period revival + post-war ranch on large uel lots; ubc + uel governance (not city of vancouver) submarket. The University Endowment Lands (UEL) is technically not part of the City of Vancouver — it's an unincorporated area under Metro Vancouver Regional District planning, and the UEL Building Department applies the BC Building Code rather than the VBBL — meaning permit timelines, fee schedules, and inspection sequences differ in subtle but material ways from anywhere else in Vancouver.

UEL lots back onto Pacific Spirit Regional Park, which is one of the largest mature-canopy preserves in Metro Vancouver — the ESA buffer + tree-canopy review on UEL renovations frequently restricts site-disturbance scope, and any tree removal requires UEL Forestry sign-off in addition to the BCBC permit.

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.
