General construction in South Cambie
South Cambie is City of Vancouver's 1920s-1950s post-war bungalow + period revival on rs-1; high-density cambie corridor strata redevelopment along the canada line submarket. South Cambie sits on the spine of the Canada Line + the Cambie Corridor rezoning, and most parcels here have been re-rated for 4-8 storey strata redevelopment — single-family renovations in South Cambie are now almost always scoped as interim holds rather than long-term residences, which changes the entire ROI framing.
What a general construction project looks like here
South Cambie sits on the spine of the Canada Line + the Cambie Corridor rezoning, and most parcels here have been re-rated for 4-8 storey strata redevelopment — single-family renovations in South Cambie are now almost always scoped as interim holds rather than long-term residences, which changes the entire ROI framing.
Cambie Corridor strata buildings post-2017 are typically built to BC Step Code Step 4 or Step 5, and any in-suite renovation in these new buildings has to maintain the building's airtightness target — most Step 4-5 buildings have membrane-tested envelopes that can fail post-renovation if penetrations aren't sealed to the original spec.

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.
