I’m building a house with a 21×28 foot family room in the basement. I want to have a clear span in the room. Their is a difference of opinion between the builder and material supplier about the floor system. The builder want to use athree layer built up of 2×12 number 2 yellow pine and 2×10 joists. The material supplier say to go with a lvl beam and I-beam joist. I want the builder happy but I want a solid floor what do you think?
Thanks Steve
