What do the little red diamond markings on a tape measure or rule signify?
If the marks are at 16 inches, 32 inches, 48 inches, etcetera, those are the distances studs in a wall are supposed to be apart, measured from the center of one stud to the center of the next one. Wall studs are the vertical pieces of wood which the sheetrock is nailed to. I think the marks indicate 1/2 meter increments.

2X4 Construction is a locally owned general construction business with locations throughout Texas?
In a general sense 2×4 walls referral to light frame built construction as opposed to other methods, such as concrete or post frame building. The term 2-by-4 wall basically means that the framing materials use 2-inch- by-4-inch studs made of wood or metal.Wood frame walls begin with boards that are cut and planed to a standard size. Those are called "studs" and are referenced by the width and thickness of the end of the board. "2x4" is referring to a board that has a nominal size of 2 inches by 4 inches. The nominal size is not the actual size. A 2-by-4 is approximately 1-1/2 inches thick by 3-1/2 inches wide. Rough boards measure 2 inches by 4 inches, but when they are planed smooth, the size is reduced.Some 2-by-4 walls are built with light gage metal studs. The size and placement are meant to mimic traditional wood wall construction, so the general term "2-by-4 walls" could mean either wood or metal studs unless specified. Metal studs are often used in commercial and industrial buildings but are becoming more common in high rise apartments and home construction, especially in urban settings and areas where wood is scarce.In 2-by-4 walls, the studs are placed vertically and usually spaced every 16 inches along the wall location. In some cases, the studs may be placed 12 inches apart if the wall requires additional strength. Studs may also be spaced 24 inches apart to adhere to stricter environmental standards for conserving wood. For such buildings, the exterior walls will be built with 2-inch-by-6-inch studs, while the interior walls will be constructed with 2-inch-by-4-inch studs.Once the framework of studs is complete, the finishing construction begins. Most construction materials are sold in sizes that work in conjunction with the 2-by-4 inch studs and their standard placement within the walls. Any variation of those standard sizes would make the building process much more difficult. Utility lines are placed in the walls, insulation is installed, and then materials such as drywall or paneling are attached to the surface. Once trim and cosmetic finishes are applied, the 2-by-4 wall is complete. Things You'll Need Drywall sheets 1-inch self-tapping drywall screws (fine thread) Electric screwdriver Razor knife Lumber pencil Chalk line Tape measure Drywall joint tape Drywall joint compounds Apply drywall joint compound to all drywall screws, using the 6-inch drywall tape knife. The screws should be completely covered by the joint compound.Drywall (also referred to as gypsum board or sheetrock) is an interior wall sheathing material used in most types of construction in both residential and commercial projects. Metal studs are an alternative to traditional wood studs for wall construction, and while their use is mandatory in most commercial construction, they are not commonly used for residential construction. The process of hanging drywall on metal studs is very similar to hanging drywall on wood studs but requires specialized drywall screws. Installing drywall on a metal stud wall is a generally straightforward task that can be successfully completed by just about anyone with basic drywall experience and tools.Once the framework of studs is complete, the finishing construction begins.
