Building 2nd Story

When building a second story I start out with a blank floor plan. 

I do reference the first floor but the second floor can never be exactly lined up for it is totally different floor plan.

But once I build the second floor I cannot change the floor heights on the first floor that is a given.

So how does one when framing get the second floor to frame properly and not have floor joists lower than the rest of the 2nd floor lever for I am building over a first floor that is 9' and 10'.

Thanks?

It is possible to change first floor heights after a 2nd floor is built.

 

Looking at your image (probably better to turn off wall framing) it looks like the 2nd floor bath is lower than the surrounding rooms. Is this the problem you are asking about?

Yes but the floor height of the floor bath is determined by the first floor ceiling height It needs to frame correctly
