Measure both of course, and a tape measure won't do, calipers might work, but since you have to measure so many times, there's a risk you'll get too much variation where you "splice" the measurements. So I think you should do as the pros do, measure with a stopwatch and laser, you have to be quite quick with your fingers though since it's a rather short distance :)

1. Sterling OSB class 3, 2442 mm
2. OSB unknown brand but class 3 according to my builder, 2442 and a half mm.

Both measured by hand with uncalibrated Byggmax 5-meter tape measure (for 10:-, the whole house is built with such tape measures :x).
Temp approx 15°C, humidity unknown, but estimated around 50% RH considering the outdoor temp.
Moisture content in OSB unknown, but probably corresponding to approx 50% RH, i.e., low, maybe around 10%

But I think you are right, that 244cm comes from 96".

Yes, the plasterboard is 250, OSB is 244, so it's a bit short... So I've cut strips of OSB and placed them at the top...
Where do you buy plasterboard? I use 270, = suited my house best, = 4.2 m at the highest part. Just thought it seemed troublesome to splice when there are panels that fit, but here in Skåne we build with single plasterboard and only this.
 
Yes, in the garage it had to be a ceiling height of 240 cm, therefore I bought 240's sheets for there. In the house, it's 250 cm so it was good with 250's sheets... It was osb I was criticizing :)
 
12 mm plywood is 244 but if you take 18mm and up then it is 240...
why shorten for the small strip? place it at the bottom and put the large sheet on top....

Yes, I have not lathed behind the strip; however, when I screwed the plasterboard, I drove one into the strip and one into the large board, meaning on half the width of the plasterboard.
 
correct!!!
