Sometimes you run drains through joists when there are no other options. Of course, I also communicate with the carpenter about how they want it, where it's best (less bad) to make the holes, etc.
Now I'm at home renovating my own bathroom, so I'm also the one reinforcing after the holes.
The joist is 220 and the span is 3 meters.
Do you think this will work, or should I do something differently?
The floor will have 22 chipboard, floating floor, and tiles.
Looks a bit messy. Always problems with beams like you have, not much space. But what you've done with reinforcement might be overkill in some spots. Better that than nothing at all. How's it going with the iron on top in image 1, will the floor chipboard rest on it?
It will probably hold, but from a strength perspective, it's better with long reinforcements that distribute the load over a larger area (think lever arm). Your relatively short reinforcement plates are now putting greater shear forces on the screws.
Otherwise, I would probably have zipped up the fly before taking a photo from that angle .

Yep, messier than ever!
Good to hear, better to overdo it a bit.
Well, the chipboard ends up above the metal, just a few millimeters, since I've had to raise the floor a bit as I've been leveling it

Haha, yes, I made a little mental slip there. The iron in the pictures was two meters long, but I cut it into 400 mm pieces. I thought that would be fine
I would not mess with the rules but move the well to the right in the elongated compartment. It depends on what you are going to have above and any space for something. Considering a shower, then the well can be moved. A new floor is laid with a slope towards the well and about 10-15 cm from it, a local slope is made, with a bit of extra downhill.

The problem is that we're going to have a 90 shower.
The center of the drain will thus be 45 cm from the wall. 45 cm from the finished wall is right in the middle of the beam, never fails
Don't want the shower at center 45 and the drain center 58. Know how muppish it looks
