MF out performs timber 

I should have said, this studwork will be supporting the upper floor. Is the metal/MF robust enough for this (I am basing my query on the flimsy partition stuff I have seen in office refurbishments over the years which wouldn't support floors)

If it’s a structural wall then I would be using whatever the SE specifies

which is CLS timber 🙂  and what I intend to do (the metal sidetrack is curiosity only). SE doesn't specifiy whether treated or not, hence the OP

 

Untreated is my preference purely from a cost perspective, and it seems logical to me (but never let logic get in the way of a good building reg!!)

find the timber you want to use and then ask the SE if it's ok to use it. never any harm to double check with the SE. for us a quick email and response gave us peace of mind.
