Internal Block Wall vs Internal Stud Wall M2 Costs

[gimp]

Hi All

Based in Surrey down south got a project which is to gut a house, whats the cost comparison for Internal Blockwork Wall compared to Internal Stud Wall per M2 inclusive costs with labour.

Cheers

The cost to gut either is the same

Yes agreed gutting is the easy bit, its the costs to build im looking for.

Rebuild costs are more or less the same. The actual specification of each will determine the cost

Block wall spec is Aerated Block 3.6N 100mm(215x440mm) then 12.5mm plasterboard either side.
Stud wall spec is 100mm Timber framework packed out with Knauf earthwool insulation then 12.5mm plasterboard either side

Is there a foundation then?
I’d say the block materials will work out slightly cheaper but that’s just a hunch off the top of my head
Much more common to do stud tho - quicker

Sorry this is first floor of house single skin(load bearing wall below)

Was the wall below previously supporting another masonry wall above it then? Stud walls a no brainier upstairs.

We put a load of steels in between ground and first floor so loading is no problem. But in essence what is the price difference between Stud and block finished costs?
