Founded in 1922 and headquartered in Watsonville, California, Granite Construction Inc. operates primarily through two segments: Construction and Materials. The Construction segment focuses on heavy civil infrastructure projects for federal, state, and local agencies, as well as private sector clients, encompassing transportation, water infrastructure, and mission-critical markets. The Materials segment supports these operations and generates independent revenue by extracting, processing, and selling construction materials such as sand, gravel, and asphalt from its network of quarries and plants. By maintaining a vertically integrated business model, Granite controls a significant portion of its supply chain, enhancing project execution and cost efficiency. The company's geographic footprint spans across the Western United States, with expanding operations in the Gulf Coast and Midwest through strategic acquisitions.
