It's down to cost I suppose. Cheaper to put in stud walls. They are ok if you don't fall into theim.0

Plaster board is totally fine for putting up pictures and very light shelving.
But horrendously bad at muffling sound and putting in heavy-duty shelving.0 -

Yip it's true and we do have a few holes in the walls from accidents! The corner of a chair punctured the plasterboard when one of the kiddies sat on it and it pushed against the wall. Soundproofing is awful and like others have mentioned, don't try and put shelves up unless on an outside wall. Even a simple thing such as fitting a curtain rail causes lots of problems.......0

The one upside is if you want to remove an internal wall it's a lot easier.0
