Garage Conversion wall

Question

We want garage conversion to an office, (half of the garage - so keeping the original door and the front half used as a garage) what type of wall do we need to build in making the partitian? Does it need to be blockwork or can it be a stud wall?

If it helps, we live in a detached house with an integral garage, house is a new build by Curo. Construction completed in 2022. The wall around the garage (all sides) is a blockwork construction, its a structural wall. I wont be knocking any walls down as part of this work, just cutting a single doorway.

hi if it is just in your garage you can use 3x2 cls insulate studs and palsterboard 
we have done this numerous times hope this helps

You can have a studwall using 4” x 2” timbers or the metal stud version  you would need sound proof insulation in between studs with 12.5 -15mm plasterboard both sides of studwork

Hope this helps

I would consider stud partition wall with 4 x2 inch timbers 400 mm uprights. Filled with sound dampening insulation. On the garage side opening 18mm osb then 12.5 mm sound board on top of that. Inside 12.5mm sound board.
Hope this helps

You can build a timber stud partition wall make sure it’s well insulated. Kingspan or cellotex. I would also recommend boarding it with fire proof plasterboard to allow a fire break between the two.
