Step Code energy upgrade in Mount Pleasant East
Mount Pleasant East is City of Vancouver's industrial-residential transition zone (1900s-1930s wood-frame + 2000s+ live/work strata + brewery district) submarket. Mount Pleasant East's industrial-light I-1A zone is home to Vancouver's craft-beverage cluster (Brassneck, R&B, Strange Fellows, 33 Acres) and to the converted-warehouse live/work loft strata — these dual-use buildings require I-1A occupancy compliance during renovation, and live/work conversion under the 2024 amendments adds a 6-10 week zoning review.

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.
