Mr. Coyne has broad experience in the construction process, having provided construction management services to clients during programming, design, and construction phases. Mr. Coyne’s experience in project controls supports his analysis of claims related to design errors and omissions, scope changes, building codes and standards, schedule delays, cost overruns and production inefficiencies. He has also been responsible for developing project schedules, monitoring construction performance, and preparing time impact analyses on a variety of projects worldwide.
Mr. Coyne has represented clients in complex negotiations on numerous projects, including major insurance related matters totaling in excess of $2 Billion. In addition, he has been recognized during dispute resolution proceedings as an expert in a wide range of engineering and construction topics, including damage assessments and rebuild efforts resulting from explosions at petrochemical plants, and OSHA regulations related to construction accidents. Mr. Coyne’s experience also includes post-earthquake and flood damage assessments of structures and equipment.
Mr. Coyne also specializes in the integration of design and construction through the use of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) tools. He performed graduate research in Building Information Modeling (BIM) at Stanford University’s Center for Integrated Facility Engineering and currently focuses on 3D clash detection, 3D laser scanning, 4D modeling, and BIM implementation planning. Mr. Coyne is the author of several technical papers and has been invited to speak throughout North America on a variety of engineering and construction topics. He has been a guest lecturer in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Infrastructure Engineering at George Mason University. Prior to joining Exponent, Mr. Coyne worked for the Lockheed Martin Corporation, designing and testing remotely operated vehicles.
