Multiplex conversion in Hastings-Sunrise
Hastings-Sunrise is City of Vancouver's 1910s-1940s craftsman + post-war bungalow on rs-1; mid-rise strata along hastings street submarket. Hastings-Sunrise has Vancouver's largest surviving stock of working-class 1910s-1940s Craftsman cottages, and most have full-height basements with marginal headroom (6'2"-6'8") — basement legalisation under TC2 frequently requires foundation underpinning + slab lowering, adding $45K-$120K to the secondary-suite scope.

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.
