A 2-hour block shaft wall, reinforced and grouted, with furring and board on the room side.
Layers, in order
| # | Layer | Thickness | Spacing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 in block and mortar | 9 5/8 in | |
| 2 | Grout and reinforcing | 6 5/8 in | at 8 in o.c. |
| 3 | 1 5/8 in furring studs | 1 5/8 in | at 16 in o.c. |
| 4 | 1/2 in FC60 gypsum board | 1/2 in |
Build steps
- Lay the block (Mason). Flashing and weep vents at the base course, then the block in mortar, course by course.
- Reinforce and grout (Mason). Joint reinforcement as the block rises, bars in the cells, bond beam, grout.
- Frame the furring (Framer). Tracks and furring studs off the wall.
- Hang the board (Drywall). Board screwed to the studs, ready for tape and paint.
Materials per 100 sf of wall
From the takeoff of Setout's sample building, across every wall of this type on the typical floors, after doors and windows are cut out. Use it to sanity-check a bid, not as a substitute for a takeoff.
