Abstract
A metered track and stud framework erection method and system is disclosed. The system employs tracks which are metered to facilitate the rapid and accurate placement of studs between the tracks at equidistant spacing as required by conventional building codes and statutes. The studs are also metered or graduated, preferably in inches and centimeters, to facilitate the correct and appropriate placement of electrical outlets and plumbing avenues without costly errors. A method is disclosed for the proper use of the metered tracks and studs to efficiently and rapidly erect structure framework.

An indoor wall erection method to be used by a contractor comprising:
- placing a first track on a floor such that it is disposed on its side with an opening of the first track oriented away from the contractor;
- placing a second track on the floor such that it is disposed on its side with an opening of the second track oriented towards the contractor;
- wherein the first track and second track are parallel;
- placing studs simultaneously within the first track and the second track such that they are perpendicular to the first track and the second track;
- wherein the first track, the second track, and the studs are equipped with metered markings;
- anchoring the studs in position within the first track and the second track such that they are spaced to be code-compliant per the metered markings, forming a frame panel;
- and
- raising the frame panel such that it is perpendicular to the floor, forming a wall frame.
