Interior wall, on slab or tiles?

[yens]

I am in the process of renovating a storage/workshop that will have an inner wall dividing the space in two, with an inner door as well.

I have the option to build the inner wall either directly on the slab and make it part of the frame, or I can put wall cladding on the outer walls, tile the floor, and then put up the inner wall.

What would you have done, and why?

Thanks in advance!

There might be a future need to have a large space, so place the wall on top of the finished floor. Future flexibility.

It depends a bit on whether you think you'll want to tear it down in the future. In that case, it's best to place it on and glue or tape the bottom rail.

Otherwise, it's better to build it beforehand. It will be easier to get a nice division on the klinker, etc.

It depends a bit if you think you'll want to dismantle it in the future. In that case, you might prefer to place it on and glue or tape the bottom rail.

Otherwise, it's better to build it first. It will be easier to achieve a nice layout on the tiles, etc.

Ok, I will have large (60x60) tiles, the same in both areas. I'm thinking a bit about whether it's easier to get it nice with a low threshold, etc., if you place the door on top and avoid sealing edges, etc., but maybe it's so marginal that it's unnecessary to think along those lines.

You can install the door afterwards regardless.

You can install the door afterward regardless.

But won't I create unnecessary extra work for myself if I have to lay tiles around the door opening when the wall is in place and try to make it look good, instead of just going ahead with the floor and then installing the wall?

Are there any direct advantages/disadvantages to installing the interior wall before/after from a construction standpoint?
