🔨 Wall framing formula: Studs = (Wall Length in inches ÷ Stud Spacing) + 1. Add plates (top/bottom), headers for openings, and 10% waste.

💡 Pro tip: Standard 16″ OC spacing uses 1 stud per 1.33 ft of wall. Add 2 extra studs per opening (king + jack studs). Always order extra lumber for cuts and mistakes.
