Its an extension for a garage and utility. So ceiling in one part and open in another.
I've just marked it out and if I could get away with hanging them flush at the top in the garage section, it would enable me to leave a gas pipe run in the void! Getting a gas engineer out at the moment is a struggle
Surely the wall plate has been positioned to take the joists with the joist hanger at the bottom, where there's a lip to place it flush.
And surely you will know where you want it.
Or not?

There are a couple of pipes in the way and rather than waiting for a gas engineer to re-route, I can just position the plate to allow for these (they will be removed eventually)
I just wanted to know if anyone could see a problem with a joist hanging 1" lower then the wall plate. The hangers are long enough.
It's not a problem, but as the hangers have bottom stops to hang them flush with the bottom, fixing the wall plate to accommodate this would surely be a lot easier.
Then, if there are pipes in the way and they won't spoil the finished product, by all means, do it.
I only had to fix hangers lower than bottom on one occasion when we had a well wonky wall to rest one end of the joists and a straight (levelled) wall plate.
Yes, we had this argument on another thread.
It's called something else that i don't remember.
Anyhow, i was referring to the piece of wood that you fix to a wall, not on top of it.
I now know all builders i ever encountered were wrong in calling it a wall plate
