Timber stud partition framed and boarded in ply to dado height on an office strip-out

Stud partitions and timber framing

Dividing a floor plate up, closing off a plant area, framing a new office out of an open space, or boarding a partition ready for plaster or a finish. On a refurbishment this is usually the first thing that happens after the strip-out, and everything that follows is square or not square because of it.

01How we do it

Setting out is the whole job. We work from a laser rather than from the existing walls, because in a building that has been through two previous fit-outs the existing walls are rarely a usable reference. The line goes on the floor first and gets checked against the ceiling before a single stud is cut.

Studs are set at the right centres for whatever is going on the face, with noggins where fixings are going to land: screens, rails, shelving, a TV bracket. It is far cheaper to put a noggin in now than to find a fixing in a void later.

We board in ply where the wall has to take weight or impact, and leave it ready for the plasterer or the decorator. Where a partition meets services or a cellular beam we frame around them properly rather than notching through.

04Questions

What people ask.

Do you plaster the partitions as well?
No, we are joiners. We frame and board and leave it ready, and we will work to the plasterer's programme.
Can you frame around existing pipework and beams?
Yes, that is most of the work. We frame around services rather than notching through them.
