I was thinking of uploading some pictures and getting tips on how you would place studs around the GVF and VFS cabinets in the picture. The frame is 120 mm.
I am using 450 cc spacing for the studs so I need to fit in 1 stud above and below the cabinets. But I'm not really sure how it's usually done around such cabinets?
It will then be osb+plasterboard on one side of the wall and just plasterboard on the other side.
Also adding a picture from the front where I included my suggestion on how to do it.
The red markings are 45x45 or something thin enough to fit in front of the pipes.
The blue markings are 45x120 where I place one horizontally directly on top of the cabinet, is that possible to do? The plumbers just need to drill through the beam and into the cabinet when they need to run pipes to the upper floor, right?
However, that doesn't work on the back of the cabinets as the pipes have been cast slightly askew...
Horizontal studs above/below I would have made in the same dimension (45x120) and drilled out for all the penetrations. I think it becomes more stable that way; the drill holes secure the pipes well. I'm sharing a picture from my own construction.
Regarding the pipe that is cast incorrectly, the easiest solution would probably be to extend the wall a few centimeters extra to get the pipe into the wall.
Horizontal rails above/below I would have done in the same dimension (45x120) and drilled through for all feed-throughs. I think it becomes sturdier that way, the drill holes fix the hoses in a good way. I'm sharing a picture from my own build.

Regarding the hose that is incorrectly embedded, the easiest solution should be to extend that wall a few extra cm to fit the hose into the wall.
Yes, but it seems reasonable to do so on the top side.
However, I can't extend the wall anymore. On the side where the hoses are a bit outside the wall, it will be a kitchen, where I already have a custom-made countertop that has to fit.
But I guess I've accepted that I'll plaster as much as possible and let a bit of the hoses be visible. It will be hidden later by the kitchen frame.
But how did you frame on the underside of the cabinet?
Here's a picture from the front where I've inserted my suggestion on how I'm doing it.

However, that won't work on the back of the cabinets because the hoses have been cast a bit crooked...
I also think you should fully brace underneath and drill it out. The difference down there, it doesn't show exactly, but it seems almost like if you use OSB + gypsum, it might be enough to skip OSB right there so the gypsum covers it on the outside.
Yes, but it seems reasonable to do so on the top side.
However, I can't frame out the wall more. On the side where the pipes are a bit outside the wall, there will be a kitchen, where I already have a custom-made countertop that needs to fit.
But I've accepted that I will gypsum as much as possible and let some of the pipes be visible. They'll be covered later by the kitchen frame anyway.
But how did you frame under the cabinet?
That should work fine.
I framed in the same way underneath.
