New hvac system in a house from the 80’s that is gutted and being remodeled.
Does anyone see a problem with this plenum support sitting on the ceiling joist like this? It doesn’t have full bearing on the surface below and looks precarious.
Here’s another angle:

Hard to tell from the pictures.
Did they get permits?

If it looks questionable, referring it out isn’t a bad thing.
I mean precarious means…“dangerously likely to fall or collapse.”

You were there, I can’t see the support well enough at all.
It’s just duct board, not very heavy, if the HAU or AHU is supported, that’s much heavier.

Any significant vibration would likely “walk” those supports off the edge of the joist.
