Newly built house - studs or OSB?

[RoBo]

yes, but what about those sitting on the doubling side?

Often fenced or something cut off.

Usually batten or something off-cut.

OK, we usually use sheet metal strip or alternatively short brace fixtures.

Thank you for all your responses, thoughts, and opinions!

Some of you are wondering why I want to hang up the TV, but that was just an example. I would like to be able to hang up a TV, cabinets, clothing shelves, and similar things without it being a major issue. I don't want to have to worry or feel uncertain about whether the wall/mounting will hold. I currently live in an apartment where all the walls are concrete, so I never have to think twice when we hang things up.

Most of you seem to suggest placing OSB between the studs. I will propose this to our contact (on certain selected walls) but want a bit more information. Does it take longer to do this than just setting up studs? Are we talking about, say, an extra 5 minutes or 1 hour?

Inserting OSB blocking between the studs is a good compromise. It obviously takes longer, but you're talking about a house so maybe a few thousand in material costs and 1-2 extra hours for the entire house in labor.

The option to insert extra studs only works if you know that you want to hang up an item and exactly where you want it. If you want the freedom to easily hang things anywhere, then an extra sheet everywhere is what's required.

yes, but those are also big costs for solving a problem that doesn't exist.
crossings where you know you'll mount things and elsewhere can be solved with plugs.

if you want to save financially, that is.

alternatively, 2 layers of plaster = a bit more economical than 1 layer of plywood but has more advantages beyond load-bearing capacity.

I had used double boards to avoid bongo drum walls but whether it was double drywall or drywall+OSB, I'm not really sure. I would probably let the price decide. Mounting things on drywall (without OSB/blocking/studs behind) requires about the same consideration as mounting in various concrete materials (especially lightweight concrete)... It may seem difficult and cumbersome the first few times, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes natural...

For example, drywall without underlying wood:

I personally have plenty of lightweight concrete walls, including in the kitchen... There, I used: http://essve.se/webcatalogue/infastning-gips-stenmaterial/397833-lattbetongplugg-turbo-t-nylon/
They will last longer than I will!

Simple, just works... Why complicate it?
