I got my attic converted last year (3 Bedroom semi D), I was installing insulation into the crawl space, and notice the RSJ beam at the end wall was sitting on 2 blocks of wood. It looked wrong is this standard ? or do I get the Builder back??
What a the correct fittings for installing a RSJ

Are you sure there was not a steel plate between it and the timber under it which may have been hard to see. Also are you positive it was bearing on this and not just blocks of timber sitting under it looking like they are touching it?
Have a another look with a torch and take a photo while your there. or a bit more description.

It could be that the builder timber wedged the steel on the outer leaf then secured with masonry and mortar on the inner leaf or vise-versa? In any case there should be padstones or a spreader plate, yes/no?

Might be a timber framed building. In which case, there's nada wrong with steel sitting on timber, providing the bearing has been checked out.
Tbh, from that photo, you can't tell *what's* going on with any certainty.
