Measuring demising walls

Are demising walls (between common and common, common and usable, usable and usable) all measured to the centerline?

HI Safiya,

A wall separating two areas that share the same space classification on either side would almost always be measured to the midpoint. However, when a wall separates two different space classifications, the measurement might not be to the midpoint. It's depends on what measuring methodology or standard is used.

Thanks,
David
