Holes in I-Joists too large?

Does anyone know maximum hole sizes in I-joists? This is new construction and I need to know how to report this to my customer.


Depends on the Manufacturer and location of the holes within the joist.

Awesome! thank you for your help!!

Often those joists come with pre-drilled openings for ductwork and piping, which appears to be the case here. Because of the uniformity of the holes, I would personally would not call this out. At best, I would refer the customer back to the building plans.

I agree Brian, those look to clean-cut for anyone to have done them.
