OSHPD Cold-formed Framing

- Start date
In California hospitals, you need to be able to justify whatever size is specified. OSHPD also has preapproved partition wall details for typical conditions, [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.oshpd.ca.gov/FDD/Pre-Approval/index.html[/url]. They do not mandate using the preapproved details. They are fairly new. OSHPD has a structural engineer review partition details during plan check (on every project that I have worked on).
I’d rather see heavier gauges than doubling studs all over the place or using a bazillion screws to anchor equipment and backing. I would not be afraid to ask the architect to specify 16 gage studs; they are fairly common in California hospitals.

If you are working with OSHPD - triple your bid and you will probably still lose money!!
