My question; did the builder use metal studs on the interior walls instead of wood 2x4's on my brand new Patio Villa Topaz?
I am going to call the builder on Monday.

I use the snap toggles mentioned in another answer, but I drill through the center of the metal stud. That way you are not relying upon just the sheet rock for support especially if hanging a heavy item
