Can anyone tell me if it is advisable to build the interior partitions on a house before the roof trusses are set?
I’ve set roof trusses with only exterior walls before, but then could not tilt-up interior walls, which took more time to build as a result.
Thanks,
Greg

I'd say it could be done either way.
Virtually everyone around here does all the walls before the roof. But that could vary from region to region.
Don't know what would be so difficult about setting the interior walls after the trusses were up. If it was too tight, the 2nd top plate could be left off and slipped into place later. That should make it go fairly easy.
It may make some sense to do the interior partitions later - You could get the roof on first and do the interior walls on a rain day.
I once worked as a horse trainer. It was a stable job.
I think he found that his trusses were sagging... Interior wall hieghts / elevations weren't the same as the exterior walls...

It'd be refreshing... Brisk 34* and about an inch of snow still on the ground... Dazzeling sunshine..

back in the 80's when I was production framing, truss's first. GET DRIED IN...wwas the rule.
If I were doing it now, it'd likely be the same, unless a delay in truss delevery left me hanging.

I usually d o my interiors after the roof for the reasons giving by the other guys - but sometimes it is tough to tie in the top plate to the exterior walls - I am not sure if everybody does - though?
