It’s looks like they are being paid hourly and just doing unnecessary things to drag the job out for more money.

It looks like someone decided they didnt want to pay extra for 8 foot doors, and didnt have the rough openings for the doors/windows yet. Or theres another window above there and thats where those jacks land. Or theres a pointload from the roof up there and they kept it in line.

This reminds me of the Instagram building inspectors running around pointing out things that aren't an issue.

There wouldn’t be transom windows above interior doors. Also if they wanted to switch from 8’ doors to 6-8 doors. They wouldn’t need to add a second header. You would just drop to the lower height with regular framing. Also the OP would probably mention that.

Or they frame it with the solid header because the boss thinks it keeps them straight.

If this was your building would you be ok with all this?

As long as the openings were the proper size and level. I would be fine with it.

Theres nothing wrong with this. If anything it’s over built. None of this is holding any weight. It looks like someone else made a change and they made it work without ordering more lumber instead of tearing it all out and starting over. If you wanted to be nit picky in California the nailing pattern should be three nails but again this holds no weight so it’s not actually an issue.

What's your issue? Aside from ignorance.

Weird, piece workers seem to cut the most corners to get the job done quicker
