  (Results will be displayed on the next web page titled "Wall Framing Cost Comparer - Calculated Results".)

Analysis Notes: These calculations are made assuming a 20 foot long section of wall framing with all door and window openings (if present) of a 3'-0" width. The bottom track was assumed to be continuous even across the door opening. Headers over the openings were assumed to be fashioned of the same material as the wall studs. I.e., if using 6 inch wall studs, the header would be 6 inches deep (tall).

Important Note:  This analysis tool is intended to serve as a general guide to architects and contractors for estimating costs of wall framing assemblies. There are other factors, other than those listed above, which may impact upon the final cost of the wall framing assembly.
