Engineering-Backed Construction Expert
Contractor/Owner Dispute | Defect Causation | Damages Evaluation
“Strong construction opinions do not begin with speculation. They begin with evidence, physics, construction knowledge, and a clear explanation of causation.”
—Scott Flynn—
Profile
Scott Flynn is a construction dispute and defect consultant based in Boise, Idaho, serving attorneys throughout the nation in litigation and pre-litigation matters involving construction defects, building performance failures, contractor/owner disputes, cost evaluation, and causation.
Scott combines hands-on construction execution experience with technical engineering training. His background allows him to evaluate disputed construction conditions from both the builder’s perspective and the analytical perspective required to determine cause, responsibility, damages, and defensible conclusions.

The Value I Bring
Construction disputes often turn on two central issues: what actually caused the failure and who is responsible? My role is to help attorneys move beyond competing narratives and into evidence-based conclusions that can be explained clearly to clients, opposing counsel, mediators, judges, and juries.
Causation Analysis
I evaluate whether alleged defects, installation errors, design issues, material behavior, sequencing, or site conditions caused the claimed damages.
Construction Reality
With more than 25 years of construction experience, I understand how projects are actually built, managed, sequenced, documented, and disputed.
Clear Case Support
I translate complex construction and technical issues into practical conclusions attorneys can use for case strategy, settlement evaluation, and expert positioning.
Practice Areas
Contractor/Owner Disputes
Resolving complex contractual disagreements through technical analysis and evidence-based conclusions.
Construction Defects and Cost Evaluation
Evaluating installation errors, material failures, and design issues that lead to performance failures and the costs associated with them.
Building Envelope Failures
Investigating moisture intrusion, thermal bridging, and assembly durability in high-performance buildings.
Expert Witness
Providing expert support for case strategy, settlement evaluation, and expert witness testimonies.
Why Counsel Retains Me
Attorneys rely on my dual expertise in engineering and on-site construction to transform technical complexities into clear, litigation-ready evidence.
Attorney-Ready Communication
I focus on clear written analysis, technically defensible conclusions, and practical explanations that directly support litigation strategy.
Engineering-Backed Opinions
I apply an engineering and science approach to disputed conditions, isolating measurable cause-and-effect from speculation to create credible case positioning.
Builder-Level Insight
With 25+ years in the field, I understand project delivery, workmanship, and the practical dynamics of construction, including accurate cost analysis.
