Lumber having stud locator markings spaced along lengths thereof. The marked lumber assists in layout and assembly of a frame wall including a bottom plate, a top plate and a plurality of studs extending between the bottom and top plates. The stud are placed at one or more of a limited number of regularly-spaced pre-determined stud spacings along the plates. Respective pieces of the lumber are useful in the bottom and/or top plates. Stud locator markings define positions for placement of an end of a stud against the respective bottom and top plates. The stud locator markings indicate where the front and back surfaces of the studs intersect the respective plates. Each stud marking includes marking material affixed directly to the respective piece of lumber. The lumber is preferably substantially devoid of location indicators except for the stud markings.
