Office within factory

[chamfer]

I am going to build a office within my new factory unit. I am not sure what to use CLS or 4 x2 . I am going to plasterboard the walls inside & out. Also I would like to put a flat roof on that will take anyone's weight who got on it.

What size timbers would be best for the walls, and what size would I need to use to span the distance & take the weight for the roof?

What would the forum recommend?

Thanks in advance

4x2 are ideal give you the depth for a decent door frame, you might want to line the inside with thin osb before plasterboard as it will make mounting shelves or other wall items easy.
Rockwool will make a cheap insulation and help keep our noise.

600mm centres should be fine, 18mm ply on the roof will make it strong enough to walk on.
If you want to make it more secure use wire mesh in the walls and wired glass on any internal windows.

Hello thanks for replying, do you think 4 x 2 would be ok for roof?

Yes fine for roof, unless you are holding dances up there.
