Surveying All of South Carolina Since 1982.
Commercial real estate deals need more than a basic plat. An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a detailed survey built to national standards, which lenders, title companies and buyers rely on before closing. Abraham Land Surveying has supported commercial projects across South Carolina for more than 40 years, from the first boundary survey through construction staking and the final ALTA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ALTA/NSPS survey?
It’s a detailed land title survey that follows national standards set by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. It shows boundaries, improvements, easements and other matters that affect title.
Do I need an ALTA survey for a commercial property purchase in South Carolina?
Most commercial lenders and title insurers require one. Check your purchase contract and loan commitment, or call us at (803) 276-8719 and we’ll help you sort it out.
What are Table A items on an ALTA survey?
They’re optional additions, such as utilities, parking counts or zoning information, that your lender or title company chooses to include. We review the list with you before we start.
Can one surveying firm handle a commercial project from purchase to opening?
Yes. Abraham Land Surveying handles the initial boundary survey, topo and as-builts, construction staking, and the final ALTA, as we have for Chick-fil-A, Bojangles and the Hampton Inn at the Newberry Opera House.
Can drones be used on an ALTA survey?
Yes. We pair traditional fieldwork with drone orthomosaics for a clear, current picture of the property, as on a recent drone-assisted ALTA for a Zaxby’s in Cayce.
