Much more complicated, and not specific.

In our Sunday walks in Marsh Bend, we venture into homes under construction, and see quite a variety - mixed use of steel and wood on interior walls. Mostly wood, with a few steel studs.

We have a spec Iris, so it was completed when we purchased it, so we don't know what is behind our drywall. We did venture into other Iris homes while under construction. Each one we went into was slightly different in the framing.

I did not see much consistency, so I would say it depended on the builder and the crew.

Construction drawings are available at the etrakit.com county website, but you won't find specifics for use of wood or steel studs.

A magnetic stud finder will help.

The good news? Just a handful of steel studs in most new homes, varying by model. None are 100% wood. And from what I saw, all are on 16" centers.
