The main job of a rim joist also called a band joist is to provide lateral support for the joists to prevent the joists from leaning under the weight of the load bearing walls resting on them.
If the cut outs are too large or in the wrong location the joist can be weakened and unable to support the load it was designed for.
This method keeps the cost of material down but is more time consuming as it requires you to cut 1 1 2 to 2 thick extruded polystyrene xps insulation to fit between the floor joists and up against the rim joist.
Then have them install insulation in the rim joist bay.
