Wall framing calculator

Estimate studs, plates and noggins for a timber-framed wall at 450 or 600 mm centres.

Your measurements

How it's worked out

Studs = wall length ÷ spacing + 1, plus 2 per opening and 2 for corners. Plates = one bottom plate and a double top plate. One noggin row up to 2.7 m high, two rows above that.

Estimates only. Check sizes, coverage and quantities with your supplier, engineer or certifier before ordering. Standards references are a guide, not compliance advice.
