How Patabid Uses AI to Make Construction Estimating Safer and Smarter

Episode notes

In our latest episode of What the Tech from Boast , we sat down with Melvin Newman, CEO and Co-Founder of Patabid, to discuss how AI is transforming construction estimating and why innovation in this space matters more than most people realize. Melvin's journey is unconventional. He's a mechanical engineer who taught himself neural network development by buying textbooks on natural language processing in 2015, built an AI system that worked so well it "terrified" him, and turned a side project into the #1 unified public tender and electrical estimating software platform in North America. Along the way, he's become a passionate advocate for R&D tax credits, construction innovation, and using AI to amplify human expertise, not replace it. Boast accelerates the success of innovative businesses globally with software that integrates financial, payroll, and engineering data into a single platform of R&D intelligence. Visit Boast.ai ,
