What this detail covers
- Joining two stud partitions (plan view) while keeping linings straight.
- Where sheathing is “subject to engineering”.
Key steps
- Set out partitions and confirm which faces need backing for boards/finishes.
- Form the intersection using the shown blocking/stud arrangement.
- Fix to schedule and keep both partition runs straight.
Checks
- Intersection provides backing at board edges.
- Stud centres and thicknesses match the specified system.
Common mistakes
- Building the intersection without backing, leading to weak board edges.
- Misalignment that creates a visible kink in finished walls.
Indicative only: always follow the engineer’s fixing schedule and the project drawings.
