Shower wall fell down

My daughter was taking a shower and part of the tile wall fell down.
Underneath there is drywall and it is wet and rotted. The studs are
also rotted.
I plan to rip it all out replace the rotted studs, cover with moisture
barrier, cement board and retile.
Is there a good description / tutorial on replacing studs? I wonder
why builders are allowed to construct bathrooms like this, you would
think it should be against the building code.
Thanks
My builder was crooked too. Unfortunately it took years for problem
to develop but replacing dry wall with cement board solved the
problem. You may try going after builder as he probably violated
local code. If your county, like mine, is full of crooks, you will
have a tough time. Also home owners insurance may or may not cover
damage - probably not.
