Mr. Coyne has experience in the construction process and project controls, having provided construction management services to clients during the programming, design, and construction phases. A background in civil engineering provides a foundation for his work, while his experience in project controls supports his analysis of design and construction delays and conflicts. He has participated in the preparation of disruption and cost analyses, has prepared and analyzed as-planned and as-built schedules, and has performed delay analyses. He has also been responsible for developing and updating contemporaneous project schedules and performing time impact analyses on numerous projects.
Mr. Coyne also specializes in the integration of facility design and construction through the use of IT systems. Mr. Coyne's graduate research was in 3D and 4D project visualization, with an emphasis on conflict resolution and schedule optimization. His current areas of focus include Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), Building Information Modeling (BIM), automated 3D design conflict analysis, and the use of comparative 4D modeling in alternative dispute resolution and litigation. In addition, he has experience working with software developers on the implementation of new VDC software solutions. Prior to joining Exponent, Mr. Coyne was a research assistant at the Center for Integrated Facility Engineering at Stanford University. He also has experience in ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) design and testing, having worked for the Lockheed Martin Corporation – Naval Electronics and Surveillance Systems Unit.
