Can I assume that a new plasterboard wall will have plasterboard of a
certain thickness? Is there a standard thickness that builders will
typically choose for walls?

Comes in 9, 12 and 15mm. 12mm is by far the most commonly used by
builders.

Exceptions are when a higher level of either fire protection or
soundproofing is required by building regs (usually between dwellings,
or occasionally on higher floors within dwellings etc). A double layer
of 12mm is often used for these situations.
