I guess every country is a little different. In Australia there wouldn't be a double top plate and the wall frame would be braced - usually with light gauge galvanised pressed metal angle. Although in the USA the external face would often be lined with Zip OSB sheeting which naturally would act as bracing. We also wouldn't have the double stud arrangement at the sides of openings. Normally we would just have a heavier trimmer stud to each side which would be full height. Heads would be checked (housed) into trimmers and carried to next stud. Studs would be spaced at 450mm or 600mm centres depending on the application.
Great video. Great explanation. Short and concise. Love it. Thanks!
