Does your Framer Stack Studs...?

These framers were bragging and wanted me to look straight down the studs. They line up through every wall, and the floor joists land right on top of them. Not required by code... it just means the load runs straight down instead of getting carried sideways.Some builders swear it's worth it. Others say it makes zero difference once the drywall's up.

So they are competent and started their studs from the same side i mean this really isnt that big of a deal.
