Ernie,
You may find that Newell installed the granite in a double grout layer. One layer of grout, covered with fiberglass mesh, and then another layer of grout. I am assuming they did that to keep the granite floor from cracking. All in all, I had about 5/8 inch of grout between the granite and the subfloor. Don't assume the 1/2 of engineered wood will lay on the same plane as the granite without installing a sublayer.
The Newell you work on may be different, since there is almost ten years difference in models.
