They can be bridged immediately. Walls framed 16 inches on center, secured with plenty of nails and insulated well provide a solid base for the house's sheathing. On the walls, we always frame 16 inches on center, which makes them stiffer and stronger. A minimum of three studs are needed to make up both inside and outside corners. Avoiding that moisture means avoiding mold, mildew, rot, peeling paint and insects.
Carpenter ants love wet places.
Walls over eight feet tall require a row of horizontal blocking. We use diagonal braces in corners or glue the sheathing to the studs on all outside corners. When going from one level of floor to the next, we make sure the sheathing spans the rim or band joist. If need be, we start with a narrower strip on the first floor. On to the roof.
