Welcome to our Design-Build Blog!

We’re thrilled to announce that Bailey Designs Inc. has officially launched our design-build project—Brennan House, right here in Barrie! This marks an exciting new chapter for our team as we bring together architectural design, permitting, construction, and interior design all under one roof.

This blog will be your go-to source for regular updates as we move through each stage of the project. From behind-the-scenes looks at the design, to construction milestones and interior design sneak peeks, we’ll be sharing the journey from concept to completion. Whether you’re a fellow industry professional, a future client, or just love seeing beautiful spaces come to life, we hope you’ll follow along.

Stay tuned—we can’t wait to show you what’s in store.

Foundation Complete!

We’ve hit another exciting milestone at our 56 Brennan Ave project-the foundation is officially complete!

As mentioned in our previous updates, we broke ground shortly after receiving the building permit. On June 4th the footings were poured and since then, things have moved quickly on-site.

Rebar was carefully placed into the forms to reinforce the foundation structure, and once the forms were removed, we were ready for backfill, which brings us one step closer to framing.

The foundation stage is one of the most crucial phases of the build, and we’re thrilled with how smoothly it went.

Stay tuned as we move into the next stage-walls going up soon!

Footings Are In at Brennan House!

Things are moving quickly at Brennan House—footings are now formed and poured!

Footings are the first critical step in building a solid foundation. They’re poured below ground level to support and stabilize the future structure by spreading the load evenly across the soil.

Check out the process—from the forms being set to the fresh concrete pour. Next up: foundation walls!
