Another joist question

[RobH71]

So my architect has stipulated 3 no joists under bath and stud walls. Does this terminology mean a minimum of 3 or 3 bolted together?

It's normally two joists, and these can just be nailed together.

 

[RobH71]

I get the bath needing extra support but what does he mean in regard to the stud walls ? Will this be for the stud walls that run the same direction as the joists otherwise it would mean doubling up almost everywhere?

Yes

Baths don't need extra support

 

[RobH71]

Well I guess his theory is that a Bath needs extra support?
