ZenaTech, Inc. announced that it has integrated drone‑based workflows into its land‑surveying services for national homebuilders, a move that will reduce survey turnaround from up to ten days to three days or less for permit‑ready data. The expansion builds on the company’s 2025 acquisition of Cardinal Civil Resources, a firm that operates in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina and has a long‑standing relationship with Ryan Homes, a division of NVR Inc. By combining drone technology with Cardinal’s established processes, ZenaTech aims to deliver faster, more precise surveys that accelerate permitting and construction timelines.
The new service is positioned as a high‑margin, recurring‑revenue vertical that complements ZenaTech’s broader Drone‑as‑a‑Service strategy. While the company has not disclosed the acquisition price, the integration is expected to generate significant incremental revenue from the U.S. home‑building market, which was valued at $1.41 trillion in 2026. The company’s current market capitalization is $148.29 million and its stock trades around $3.11 per share.
ZenaTech’s CEO, Shaun Passley, emphasized that delays in paperwork are among the biggest challenges for residential builders. “By cutting survey turnaround to three days, we remove a major bottleneck in the permitting process,” Passley said. The company will showcase the new capability at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando from February 17‑19, signaling its intent to grow this segment in the coming year.
Financially, ZenaTech is not yet profitable and analysts expect net income to decline in 2026. The company’s Q3 2025 revenue was $4.35 million, with drone‑as‑a‑service contributing $3.57 million. A current ratio of 5.42 indicates strong liquidity, but the company is pursuing aggressive acquisitions—25 by mid‑2026—to build a global DaaS network. The drone‑powered surveying expansion is part of that strategy, aiming to capture a share of the multi‑trillion‑dollar home‑building market and to reinforce ZenaTech’s position as a leading provider of aerial solutions for construction.
