Problem. There should be no notching in the middle 1/3 of the span of the joist.

Don't forget to have them fix the NM Cables on the bottom of the joists as well. Install running boards or bore holes in the joist for the wiring.

And recommend they bore the holes in the middle third with the other notch.
