What a full home renovation project looks like here

Friesenberg is dominated by the Familienheim-Genossenschaft Zürich (FGZ) which owns approximately 2,200 Reihenhäuser organised in Etappen 1-25 from 1924 onwards — Sanierung scope is decided collectively at the Generalversammlung and individual Mieter cannot trigger a private Baugesuch on a Reihenhaus.

The 1924-1940 Etappen 1-12 of the FGZ-Siedlung sit in the federal ISOS B-Kategorie inventory — exterior fenster + balkon changes need a Vorprüfung at Denkmalpflege Stadt Zürich, which delays even simple Modernisierung by 4-8 weeks.

Zurich whole-home gut renovations — structural, MEP, finishes — coordinated through Hochbauamt Zurich + SIA 380/1 + KBOB permitted scope on a single residential filing. In Friesenberg specifically, genossenschaftsbau fgz 1920-1955 stock means full home renovation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

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.
