Quantity Surveying means calculating the quantity of materials such as total volume of concrete, total weight of reinforcement bars, total area to be finished.

Estimating deals with predicting the amount required for constructing such as cost of materials, labor costs etc..

based on what I have read the quantity servey represents the costing or cost (money) and contracts while the estimating reffers to calculating incomplete details in a certain area. or uncertain details in a data.
