GPS and machine control software for earthwork contractors
Nubble Site Solutions builds GPS positioning and machine control systems for construction contractors in the Northeast. The tech stack—Kotlin, Java, Android Studio, GCP, Docker—reflects a mobile-first, cloud-native approach to field equipment guidance. Minimal hiring velocity (no roles posted in 30 days) and a lean ops/engineering mix suggest a stable, bootstrapped operation focused on deepening existing product rather than rapid scaling.
Nubble Site Solutions provides GPS and construction machine control solutions to earthwork contractors, primarily across Southern Maine and the Northeast. Founded in 2013 by Chris Johnson and Evan Agren, the company combines mechanical engineering expertise with construction management technology to deliver positioning and guidance systems for site layout and stakeout. The product suite includes hardware rental (rover, robot, stakeout gear) and software services that guide contractors from project planning through completion. With 2–10 employees based in York, Maine, the company operates as a privately held, service-oriented firm.
Core development uses Kotlin, Java, and Android Studio for mobile applications, with GCP and Docker for backend infrastructure. The stack also includes RTK GPS, PHP, JavaScript, and cloud services via Google Drive. Business operations run on QuickBooks Online, Pipedrive (sales), and Cin7 (inventory).
Current projects include an ecommerce website launch, continuous feature development of their Android app, and backend infrastructure development. Documented pain points include converting warm leads to sales and supporting entry-level product sales.
