I'm talking about either cuttings the blocks to height and laying the joist on top or bolting wood to the wall and using jiffy hangers? was wondering if there's a better way in anyone's opinion? Thanks.
Best method for installing floor joists in new builds?

Might help to know what type of block you refer to?
Light weight. Celcon or thermolite.
Avoid resting heavy joists directly on the lightweight block, use a continuous timber wall plate. You bolt and resin-anchor the wall plate horizontally along the Thermalite wall, and then face-fix standard hangers to the timber instead of the block itself
