Attach the schedule, paste your list or dictate it. Include any beam marks, sections, lengths and quantities you have.
Reading an LVL beam schedule
If your schedule reads 1-3/4" × 11-7/8" × 20 ft, choose the 1-3/4" thickness and the 11-7/8" depth, then enter 20 ft as the length. For three identical pieces, enter a quantity of 3.
If the drawings call for several plies, use the individual ply size and piece count shown. Include the beam mark and any specified grade or series so the counter can match the line to your plans. Confirm sizing or substitutions with your engineer or architect.
Treated LVL beam sizes
If the drawings call for treated LVL, include “treated” and the specified series on the quote line. These are the treated sections by thickness and depth, in inches:
1-1/2" thick: 3-1/2, 5-1/2, 7-1/4, 9-1/4 and 11-1/4 deep.
1-3/4" thick: 9-1/2, 11-7/8, 14, 16 and 18 deep.
3-1/2" thick: 9-1/2, 11-7/8, 14 and 16 deep.
5-1/4" thick: 9-1/2, 11-7/8, 14, 16 and 18 deep.
Engineered wood I-joists
Match the flange width and overall depth to your joist schedule. Include the series or the designation printed on the plans, the length and the number of joists. Two series can share the same dimensions.
Engineered wood columns and posts
For a square 5 1/2 inch by 5 1/2 inch post, request the glulam column shown below. Include the column height, quantity and the grade or post mark from your drawings. The desk will confirm the exact product, availability and price.
For an LVL column, choose the section on the post schedule. If the drawings name a different material or series, attach the schedule so the desk can match it. Confirm substitutions with your engineer or architect.
For a stud or wall section, the 1 1/2 inch thickness also comes in 3 1/2 and 5 1/2 inch depths. Include “stud” and the specified series on your material list.
Laminated veneer lumber for beams and headers
Laminated veneer lumber beams are made from thin layers of wood bonded with the grain running in the same direction. On a framing plan, an LVL header is the member called out over an opening. Floor and roof schedules may also specify engineered wood beams by section, series and length. Include that designation when you request a price.
Ordering LVL beams
Can I quote several LVL sizes or lengths together?
Yes. Add one line for each section and length, then review your material list. If two pieces have different lengths, enter them separately so both lengths reach the counter.
What if my plans show another beam size?
Send the section, length, quantity and any grade or series shown on the drawings. You can attach the beam schedule to the quote form so the counter can check the exact item.
How do I get a price for pickup or jobsite delivery?
Send your beam list and tell us whether you want pickup at 1301 60th St in Brooklyn or delivery to the job. For delivery, include the jobsite ZIP and the date you need the material. The counter will confirm pricing and timing.
