In the U.S., in most cases, the framing for both interior and exterior walls is 2x4 dimensional lumber with an actual dimension of 1-1/2 inches x 3-1/2 inches. With 1/2" drywall on both sides, a finished interior wall will be 4-1/2" thick. With drywall on one side, and 1/4-3/4" exterior sheathing on the other side, an exterior wall will vary in thickness. Siding, stucco, or brick veneer will add to the exterior wall's total thickness.
