I think the guy below misunderstood a little.
Quanity Surveying is concerned primarily with project cost where the number, amount, type of materials are counted and priced to provide project estaimtes, budget and cost control through the works. Generally considered to be a more mathematical role concerned with number crunching and cost
Building Surveying covers a broad spectrum of roles from measured survey and design, structural surveys, legal matters such as leases and party wall awards, contract running and site supervision etc etc. More of a site based role liasing with clients and builders.
Both are types of job within the construction industry in the UK and many Commonwealth countries.
By "quantity surveying" I assume you are referring to surveys performed to compute the volume of some material such as sand, coal, rock, etc. "Building surveying" could cover a wide range of activities, depending on what you are building. The best short answer to your question is "accuracy". Volume surveys don't need to be exact - no one really worries if there are 4,000 CYD or 4,100 CYD of sand. However, when the steel beams arrive at the construction site, the bolts in the concrete foundation better fit into the holes on the beam.

What is the fundamental difference between surveying and leveling?
Surveying involves measuring and mapping the three-dimensional positions of points on the Earth's surface, while leveling focuses on determining and establishing the elevation differences between points. Surveying is more comprehensive and involves determining both horizontal and vertical positions, whereas leveling is primarily concerned with vertical positioning along a level line or plane.
Why we need surveying?
Surveying is the back bone of construction projects, we must need surveying before starting a construction project, during execution of construction activities and after completion of project. Before starting project surveying help us in design and calculation of quantities. During execution of construction activities surveying is most important thing, It help us to maintain the exact locations and heights. After completion of project surveying is called topographic surveying and it helps us to prepare the As-Built drawings, to make comparison between design and actual constructed structures, to check the differences.
What are differences between land surveying and geomatics?
Land surveying is focused on the measurement and mapping of the physical features of the Earth's surface, while geomatics is a broader field that incorporates surveying along with various technologies such as GPS, GIS, and remote sensing to collect, analyze, and manage spatial data. Geomatics also includes applications beyond land surveying, such as urban planning, environmental assessment, and infrastructure development.
Difference between leveling and surveying?
Leveling is a technique used to determine the height or elevation differences between points on the earth's surface, typically for construction or engineering purposes. Surveying involves measuring and mapping specific points on the earth's surface, including horizontal and vertical locations, to create accurate representations of land features or boundaries. Leveling is a component of surveying, used to capture elevation data during the surveying process.
What is the ratio between concrete quantity and shuttering area?
concrete quantity is the amount of concrete required for the construction of an building but in shuttering area is the protection provided for our security
What is the difference between land surveying and geomatics?
geomatics differ with surveying in that it encompasses a broad range of disciplines than surveying,let alone surveying is a discipline under geomatics

What are the key differences between an inelastic and elastic graph in terms of price and quantity changes?
In an inelastic graph, price changes have a small impact on quantity demanded, while in an elastic graph, price changes have a significant impact on quantity demanded.
