Hello,
I have a general question about the best practices in new construction. More specifically, I am trying to get my design refined and now I am drawing in the framing on the non load-bearing wall that will enclose the mechanical. Is it OK to move the studs around for optimal placement with regards to the DWV as long as I have studs aligned at 4' for clean drywall seams? I know the GC might prefer things to be clean and 16" OC but I will definitely have studs at least every 24". In a non load-bearing wall, is it OK to optimize things for you guys (the plumber)? I am attaching a drawing I just made and would like to hear what the general consensus is (if there is one). Also, I know that I still need to address supply to the fixtures but my thinking is that there is more flexibility there.
Thanks.
