What Granite Engineering does

Granite Engineering, LLC is a privately held civil engineering firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire, employing 12 professionals across its Millyard office. The firm provides four core service lines: Civil Engineering Design (site plans, subdivisions, roadway design, stormwater management, septic design, and permitting), Land Planning & Development (ordinance reviews, due diligence, master planning, and feasibility studies), Municipal Services (technical plan review, town engineer services, roadway improvements, and capital improvement projects), and Construction Services (construction inspection, EPA SWPPP report production, site inspections, and as-built review).

The firm operates as a professional services business using industry-standard tools including AutoCAD and HydroCAD for civil engineering design, stormwater modeling, and construction documentation. Its technical differentiators center on domain specialization in stormwater management design (including closed drainage systems, bioretention ponds, underground storage chambers, and SWPPP compliance) and septic/wastewater subsurface design, rather than proprietary technology. The founding partners—Jeffrey Merritt, P.E. and Brenton Cole, P.E.—are professionally licensed engineers with over 30 years of combined land development experience in New Hampshire and broader New England.

Granite Engineering generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, with go-to-market centered on direct client engagement, referrals, and active participation in municipal board meetings and public hearings. The firm serves New Hampshire municipalities as a primary segment, along with commercial and industrial developers (including Amazon and Dunkin'), residential developers, and institutional clients across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine, and New York. The marketing approach is relationship-driven with minimal digital presence beyond LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter profiles. Notable delivered projects include a 44-unit apartment complex for Lebanon Housing Authority, a 16,000 sq ft medical facility in Raymond, NH, and the Wilton River Walk conservation project.
