Our Company

J & D Civil Engineers, LLC, owned by Janet and Dennis Blanchette, has been providing surveying and civil engineering services to northeastern Connecticut and south central Massachusetts for over 25 years. We are a small local firm committed to personal, professional, and reliable service. We are very customer oriented - when you call J & D the phone will be answered by either a registered professional engineer or licensed land surveyor who will actually be responsible for performing the work on your project. Our strengths are our accessibility, timely service, listening to the needs of our clients, and attention to detail. If your schedule requires it, we can meet with you on evenings or weekends.

Municipal - Commercial - Residential

J & D provides civil engineering and surveying services to a wide range of clients including individuals, municipalities, architects, and developers of residential, commercial, industrial and institutional projects. On projects which must obtain municipal or state permits, J & D’s attention to detail and rapport with local regulatory staff combine to help streamline the permit approval process.

We Offer a Full Range of Services

Our project size varies from small projects, such as residential driveway or septic system design for individuals, to fairly large projects. We were responsible for completing, almost entirely in-house, the survey and site design for several subdivisions with greater than 20 lots. Working as part of a team with architects and landscape architects we performed the civil engineering for the Killingly High School and Day Kimball Hospital’s new Plainfield medical office building. For our municipal clients we design recreation fields and road and utility reconstructions.
