Splicing of hip rafter

[WWilts]

New build in progress, hip roof.
For various reasons, one of the hip rafters is spliced (pic). 

Can D4 glue be sufficient for such a splice? Builder thinks so. 

Alternative is a steel plate, but that would involve rewinding & redoing a few steps.

 

Trying to gauge how hard to push the builder on this.

That is a common solution, although it’s a bit poorly cut. A piece of of 18mm ply either side covered in glue and screwed will be more than adequate.

Sister the joint with OSB.  (As Russ suggests above)

This is how it should have been done . Skip the first three minutes
