HELIX builds software that unlocks the true potenial of buildings
About Helix RE
Founded in 2017 as a spin-out of Google X, and formerly known as Flux Data, HELIX RE is a technology company that specializes in creating "digital twins" of buildings. The company was acquired by Density in 2021.
The company was led by CEO and President, James Roche. HELIX RE's platform enables architects, engineers, builders, and owner-operators to capture precise building geometry using LiDAR and photogrammetry. This data is then converted into usable 3D models, 2D plans, and virtual tours.
The primary service of HELIX RE is the creation of these detailed digital replicas, which allow for efficient space planning, design, and management of buildings. This reduces the need for physical site visits, saving time and resources for their clients. The business model is centered around providing these digital twin creation services to the real estate and construction industries.
