I have a timber(7x2) now bolted into my steel beam and typical my joists are 300mm centres and one has lined up exactly on the middle of where my 75x220 joist will be going into a hanger. Is there anything that can be done here or is it just a case of moving a joist and increasing the spacing one side and reducing the other side i have done a quick google search to no avail?

Any advice will be greatly received

If you move a joist over it would probably be fine but you will be increasing the load slightly on one of the joists and that could technically mean it no longer works.

Can you turn the bolt around so you have the coach bolt head this side which won’t protrude?

Or just move the bolt over a bit so it doesn’t foul the hanger?
 
Sink the bolt either in the web timber or into the end of the joist.

Use a Forster bit
