Estimating Studs
Saturday, 12 April 2008 08:52
Stud is the structural member in building construction where the siding or partition boards are fastened. It is sometimes referred to as ribs of wooden walls or partition boards are fastened. Lumber intended for studs should be straight and uniform in width of either S2s or S4s for uniformity of wall thickness.

The advantages of using S2s and S4s lumber:

1. Lumber are straight, uniform in thickness and of good quality.
2. It is economical in terms of labor cost.
3. The work progress is not affected or delayed.

There are two methods on how to find the quality of studs at a given vertical and horizontal spacing:

1. The Direct Counting Method - is done by counting the number of vertical and horizontal member from a detailed plan. In the absence of a detailed drawing plan, an imaginary counting through arithmetical computation will do as an alternative.

2. The Area or Square Meter Method - is by finding the area of the wall multiplied by the values corresponding to the size and spacing of the studs.
