GHH is a long-established Connecticut consulting firm providing integrated civil engineering and land surveying services for land development projects across the region. Our work spans commercial, institutional, and mixed-use development—from urban infill redevelopment to complex site design in environmentally sensitive areas.

Our engineers are directly involved in projects from initial concept planning through permitting and final design, working closely with clients, municipal agencies, and our in-house surveying team.

Feasibility studies and site planning for mixed-use and residential developments

Projects requiring coordination with Planning & Zoning, Inland Wetlands, and DOT
