Hi,

I have bought a house that is currently being built. I went down to take a look (though I know nothing about house construction) and saw something I thought was a bit strange. Is this something I should be concerned about and bring up with the company building the villa, or does it look normal? Could the load-bearing capacity be affected?

I would not worry about the load-bearing capacity, the tracks that are made are in compression and not in tension, so this should be fine. The biggest concern is if there might be creaking (noise) in the floor when you walk on this point after the floor is laid.
 
I wouldn't have worried either, but I think you can well ask why they have done so!
