I bring over 35 years of construction industry experience to the integrated cost estimating and management services I provide my clients.  Following 22 years managing and estimating projects for premier commercial contracting firms in the San Francisco and Los Angeles markets, I founded R.Borinstein Company in 2005 to provide independent consultation services to project owners and design professionals.  I have managed and estimated a wide array of project types including iconic visitor and trail facilities in national, state, and municipal parks, new commercial, institutional, and residential buildings, seismic bracing and renovation of historic structures, medical, religious, academic, and athletic facilities, fast paced tenant improvements, and high-rise construction.
