2x4 Metal Interior Wall Framing Cost

Construction Item Description

Construction estimating unit cost for interior wall framing built with 2x4 metal studs.

Unit Size

One lineal foot of interior wall framing.

Labor Costs

We figure that a carpenter can frame a little more than 7 lineal feet of interior 2x4 stud wall per hour.

Material Costs

The cost includes 5.8 feet of 2x4 stud per foot of interior wall (based on 24" stud spacing), plus top and bottom tracks and fasteners.

The stud quantity is adjusted for different interior stud spacings (from the Structural Dimensions screen) and ceiling heights (from the Basic Dimensions screen). There is also an 8% to 12% waste factor on materials.

Suggested Quantity

Total interior wall length.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on crew timing from Turtle Creek Construction. The labor cost covers remodeling and small additions. For new constructions with experienced framing crews on large commercial projects, you can probably reduce the labor hours by 25% to 50%.
