Helixco Launches ROM Wizard, a Standards Based Tool for Building Defensible Commercial Restoration Estimates

Helixco, a premier cloud based platform for commercial restoration and large loss operations, today announced the addition of the Helixco ROM Wizard to its software lineup. The release continues the company’s strategy of helping commercial contractors produce a solid Rough Order of Magnitude on every project.

The ROM Wizard walks estimators of any experience level through a series of guided questions and loss measurements, then builds a defensible scope of work and a matching estimate. It handles the calculations automatically, including equipment selection, power distribution, and generator usage with fuel consumption tied to that equipment.

In commercial restoration, project documentation serves as the financial basis for every insurance claim. A well constructed ROM has become essential to the level of communication now expected by clients, adjusters, and consultants. The ROM Wizard helps Helixco’s client base deliver clear estimates that are directly tied to a defined scope of work.

Elevating Standards in Restoration Technology

Many software providers have attempted to layer time and materials billing onto their platforms, yet few match the technical depth that Helixco brings to the commercial space.

“In commercial time and materials billing, one of the most important steps after the initial assessment is to produce a ROM and put it in front of stakeholders,” said Mike Allred, CEO of Helixco. “This release removes a barrier to entry for newer estimators and helps contractors deliver consistent, defensible numbers to their teams and their clients.”

•    Guided scope building. Structured questions and loss measurements produce a defensible scope of work without requiring years of estimating experience.

•    Automated calculations. Equipment quantities, power distribution, and generator fuel usage are calculated for the contractor and tied directly to the selected scope.

•    Consistency and defensibility. Every estimate maps to a documented scope and industry standards, giving clients, adjusters, and consultants a clear and auditable basis for the numbers.

The ROM Wizard reflects Helixco’s broader commitment to simplifying the commercial restoration space by giving contractors current technology to estimate, document, and validate their work.
