For some reason they aren't going to the right clips anyway.
When you see a 30 inch lam bean in a house you’re looking at some very deliberate load planning-
Those idiots cannot imagine what it took to design a fit for that
We had a company deliver a couple of pallets of tile and they brought it into the house and set it in the middle of the living room floor-
The next morning it was in the basement .
Back on track if you ever seen one of those laminated beams, and you’re involved in a conversation about some kind of modification to it- just walk away
We moved into a house with a large (40x25') living/rec/great room that's about 40yrs old. Floor in the middle of the room is down about 2-3 in. Over a crawl space. I was thinking about using a lam beam and some posts to level the floor. Bad idea? Why? Thanks
Hey, gimme a break already! Damn wifi repeater to this computer died two days ago, then self resurrected on the 3rd day. I'm calling it "Jesus" now...

Not at all - lam beams are ideal- the ability to carry a load and the appropriate spans, is where the sizing comes in -
Also, the post will be factored into the sizing
Your formula is going to be something like the total distance of the beam
The distance of the incoming floor, assuming this thing is going to act like a girder… so how much load is coming in perpendicular
Then you have your post plan - each post sits on footing depth concrete ideally
A designer will take all these things and factor them in.
