Calculate height of wall stud

[jonasandero]

Calculating the height of studs in an exterior wall. To simplify and avoid cutting plasterboards, the following should be correct, given:

• Bottom plate & top plate 45 mm
• Battens 28 mm
• Plasterboard 2500 mm, thickness 13 mm
• 15 mm margin for the boards

Bottom plate + Stud + Top plate = Battens + Ceiling plasterboard thickness + Plasterboard height + margin

=> Stud = 28 + 13 + 2500 + 15 - 45 - 45 = 2466 mm

I haven't calculated it, but a tip, lift the boards towards the upper side so it's easier to get a neat connection at the ceiling edge, and leave the gap at the floor, a baseboard will cover it there.
