Hi Rich — good question. For a built-up beam like that, splices should land over posts so each ply has full bearing. Be sure your sizing and spans are based on total design load (live + dead), not just live load. Always worth confirming with your local code requirements and code enforcement for your specific build.

All butt joints will be offset from one another however do these butt joints need to be over the pillars? Thanks
