Door linings first or after boarding?

[grifter]

I am just starting framing out a new stud wall which will house a set of double doors. Is it preferred to plasterboard first to the edge of the stud work and then fit the door lining or can l fit the lining first?
The reason l ask is because l wanted to leave the stud wall open to run cables which won't be done for a bit but l would like to hang the doors.
Also, because l want to hang the doors without having to trim them down, and can build the opening to suit, how much additional space should l leave to allow the same gap down the sides and along the top, and also a gap down the middle of the doors? A couple of mm?
Is it possible to hang one door, then build the studs, header and lining for the other side after to get a better fit?
Thanks for any advice.

Normally the stud wall is built with an opening for the door lining.

Most internal doors are 1981mm high, door linings are 28mm thick, unless its a fire door lining. The gap at the top of the door needs to be 3mm to the lining and the gap at the bottom from finished floor is 5mm if the floor is flat and level.
You need to set the header trimmer at 2017mm from finished floor.

Door linings are supplied pre rebated on the head of the lining for 2ft 6, 2ft 9 doors, but they are not pre rebated for 2ft 3 inch doors, the pre rebate normally allows for minimal planing of the door. If you are hanging 35mm doors you shouldn't need to plane the door however if you are hanging 44mm doors you will need atleast a leading edge.

The lining is fitted before plasterboard, the lining needs to be 2-3mm wider than the stud and plasterboard on both sides. For e.g Stud 97mm plasterboard 12.5mm x 2 both sides = 122mm plus 3mm both sides equals lining width of 128mm.

The plasterer will plaster to the lining edge. If you hang the doors prior to plastering I would advise you take them off and store them somewhere dry whilst the plaster dries.
