Yes this is a house being built in a neighborhood by a builder. They are building 3 other homes right now in the neighborhood, and 1 other builder is building 2 other houses as well. |

said by BrewBoy5:I showed the pictures to my structural engineer today. Concerning the rim joist he said it is not an issue, as I said, it is a compression load and the majority of the weight is transferred to the joists anyway. As far as the top plates, he said it's up to the inspector to determine it a steel tie strap would be required, there is not enough information in the pictures make a judgement. By the way he is a licensed structural engineer in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Colorado. How about the steel beam bearing? |

How about the steel beam bearing?
The OP stated in an prior post that the contractor comes back at a later date and secures and grouts the beam. Standard procedure. |

They added shims so it should be fine now. Just a sham they didnt have it right to begin with. |

Holy cow that need to be fixed right. Other wise wait for problems with walls moving and cracks start showing up in the sheetrock later on down the line. |
