Floor chipboard or wall stud first?

[nova383]

Hi. I'm trying to figure out whether to lay all the floor chipboard on the entire level before setting the horizontal frames for the rooms or vice versa. It's a small new build and the level in question is about 50m2. Quite open and there will only be two walls. One long, about 6m, and one short, about 3m. I'm leaning towards putting the horizontal/bottom frames in place before the floor chipboard, feels right but ??? Will hold 10mm chipboard-wall.

(The floor is 22x120gles, 2 out of 4 run the entire length, then with heat layers, then 22mm floor chipboard and some laminate flooring last. Heated teaching underneath.)

Lay the floor chipboard first.

Lay the floorboard first.

Ok, you are probably right, but what is the reasoning for doing so? Is there something that becomes silly or difficult the other way around?

That's how it's usually done. Is that enough?

If you were to put the wall first, you would have to saddle on a floor beam to have something to attach the chipboard to, right? Either way, it would be extra work to put the wall before the chipboard. I see no advantages.

If you were to put the wall first, you would have to saddle on a floor joist to have something to attach the chipboard to, right? Either way, it would be extra work to put the wall before the chipboard. I see no advantages.

And there is an explanation why
My thought was that there might be some advantage in dividing the floor chipboard for the different rooms if things move around, saddling on wouldn't have been particularly difficult, but I'll go with the chipboard first.

Easier to lay out an entire space at once. Then you can place the walls anywhere you want.

Easier to lay a whole space at once. Then you can place the walls exactly anywhere.

Agreed. That way, it becomes much easier if you or someone else in the future wants to change the layout.
