Hello,
We are putting up a partition wall and I'm not quite sure about the stud spacing.
We will be putting OSB+plasterboard on one side and the other side will be tiled, so a suitable wet room board should go up there. Should we have CC-300 on the wall then? We have 1200 plasterboard so 450 is not an option for us.
How do you choose stud spacing at door openings and other places where regular CC cannot be maintained? If you have the same CC as the rest of the wall, wouldn't it "miss" half the stud width of the sheet material inwards at the door opening if the joint comes at the door opening stud, which seems convenient. If you look at this description, it seems they want you to joint above the door and then cut away a lot of material instead. Seems inconvenient, but is that how you have to do it?
Tips are gratefully received.

A standard door opening is 900x2100. Door trims overlap by about four centimeters, so the measurement is not set in stone. However, if you are going to have double sheets, you should increase the dimension of the studs (which should always be wooden) in the door opening, to have something to attach the frame screws to.
As I understand it, you should only have a single layer of plasterboard in the wet room, and in that case, it's c/c 300 that applies. Here you can read about how to build a wet room wall with two different manufacturers of plasterboard, as they have some of their own board products in addition to the plasterboard. http://www.gyproc.se/g%C3%B6r+det+sj%C3%A4lv/s%C3%A5+h%C3%A4r+g%C3%B6r+du/v%C3%A5trumsv%C3%A4ggar/tre+bra+v%C3%A5trumsv%C3%A4ggar and here http://byggsystem.knaufdanogips.se/system/partitions/pt_specialwalls/weet_room/index.html
Above the door, you measure c/c 300 from the last stud before the door to the stud above the door, then continue with that measure until you reach the first stud on the other side of the door. It is not necessary to splice precisely in the middle of the door; a minimum of 100 mm inside is usually recommended, read here for example http://www.norgips.se/montage/vaggar/oppningar-skjutdorrar-horn/index1,204.htm where it states that you can splice directly in line with a splice plate, though it's better if the splice is inside the opening as the risk of the wallpaper cracking is reduced.

Thanks for the quick and good answers. Then it will be CC300 for the whole project and it also feels more sensible to splice above the doors.
This part I don't quite understand though.

We will frame the entire wall with 45x95, but what should be increased around the frames?
