Part of a strategy to complete 25 total acquisitions in the US.
Offers services like boundary surveys, topographic surveys, and construction staking.
Aims to improve speed, precision, and efficiency in land surveying.
The proposed acquisition targets a company with over 30 years of experience serving government agencies, municipal governments, construction firms, and real estate developers. Combined with a prior proposed acquisition in North Carolina, this move strengthens ZenaTech’s regional market penetration. “This proposed acquisition aligns with our strategy to build a robust, scalable, national Drone as a Service business while empowering strong regional and local hubs and recurring revenue opportunities,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. The integration of AI-powered drones into land surveying workflows aims to deliver unmatched speed and precision.
The target company provides a wide range of services, including boundary surveys, topographic and site planning surveys, ALTA/ACSM surveys, and construction staking. These services support permitting, financing, and construction across city, county, and commercial sectors, making the acquisition a key step in innovating legacy processes with ZenaTech’s advanced drone technology.
ZenaTech’s DaaS model offers a cost-effective, scalable solution for clients, eliminating the need to purchase drone hardware, hire pilots, or manage regulatory approvals. By leveraging ZenaDrone’s multifunctional AI autonomous drones, the model streamlines tasks like surveying, inspections, maintenance, and precision agriculture. The company has already closed five acquisitions nationwide and plans to complete 20 more within the next 12 months to expand its DaaS footprint.
The global drone data services market is projected to reach $15.05 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 39.0%, driven by demand for drone-based analytics in sectors like surveying and construction. ZenaTech’s focus on integrating AI-driven drones into land surveying positions it to capture significant market share by enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs for clients.
This acquisition underscores ZenaTech’s commitment to revolutionizing the land surveying industry through AI and DaaS, positioning it as a leader in the rapidly growing drone services market.
