Unit Size

One lineal foot of interior 2x6 wall framing.

NOTE-- This unit cost covers simple wall framing with no complications. There are additional unit costs for each corne and interior door opening.

Labor Costs

We figure that a carpenter can frame about 6 lineal feet of 12 foot interior wall per hour.

Material Costs

The cost includes .7 studs (2x6 by 12 foot) per foot of wall, plus double top and bottom plates and fasteners. There is also an 8% waste factor on the materials.

Suggested Quantity

Total interior wall length.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on crew timing and material takeoffs from Turtle Creek Construction. The labor cost is based on remodeling work and small additions.

NOTE-- For experienced framing crews doing new construction, you can probably reduce the labor hours by 25% to 50%.
