Yes, it probably works, the problem I think is the concrete wall behind the track, that's why I'm considering if I should put a screw through the stud/track and into the concrete or if that's overkill?M Mellanbarn said:
If the tracks aren't the type that separates the sides from each other, it's not just dumb but directly counterproductive.doglas2009 said:
OK, if you have chosen to use 95-beams and not stagger them, then I personally wouldn't place them flush against the wall but leave a few centimeters in between, and then not put screws in the wall either, just short screws into the ceiling track.
Thank you for the answers!
The wall will be installed a few centimeters away from the existing wall.
I discovered that my BRF has an internal fund with some money, so I am considering hiring a carpenter to ensure it is done well.
I'm wondering if I'm ignorant or if I have encountered Sweden's most expensive carpenter. They estimate it will take 2 full days for 2 guys to frame a 5.4m long wall, insulate, install double drywall, and maybe apply one layer of spackle (if they had time). Do you think that is a reasonable amount of time for two experienced carpenters?

No, you can build that wall in a morning alone. You should absolutely not attach the new wall to the existing one. You don't need to attach the studs to the tracks at all; it's only done so they will stay in place until you mount the drywall.
It sounds a bit excessive, even though I don't believe it can be done in a morning alone...
If they know the conditions and only need to pick up materials (I don't know what you've already purchased) and then build the wall, they really shouldn't need more than a day with two men. And in my opinion, they should have had time to properly plaster the wall once.
Thanks for the input!
I canceled those who said it would take two full days for two people. I had another carpenter at home who looked at the wall now, and he will solve it in one day by himself next week. It should be noted that I already have all the material at home. It's amazing how much it can differ between different carpenters...
The carpenters from yesterday talked about wanting to install horizontal studs between the standing studs, while the carpenter from today said he had never seen that. In none of the clips I've watched on YouTube have they installed horizontal studs, so I'm betting that it will be fine with just standing studs.

The wall is now in place and I have applied 2 layers of putty, but a question mark has emerged.
At the edges where the plasterboard meets the concrete wall, there is a small seam, how would you handle that?
