Re: Joist support
Thanks all. This is a home I am having built.
The center post is a 6x6. There is plenty of room for the main beam in the center and the two joist to land on the post on either side. I also think that someone made a mistake with the design or framing. I did not post the pictures of the other supports below but they do not land on the steel column in the basement. Although its close enough not to be a problem. Its about 3" off and sitting on a 16" laminated beam and the beam is on the column.

Simpson does make a hanger for this. They were to be installed on the two joists behind above the stairs but the builder missed it. This support was to be exposed as was the joists but now it may need to be sheet rocked in. The spacing between the joists on the column is an eye catcher and will also need to be covered.

I would like to have an engineer take a look but having a time trying to get one to call me back. As of now I told the builder to stop construction until this issue and a few others are resolved.
