        "text": "The type of beam used to replace a removed load-bearing wall depends on various factors, including the span distance, the load it needs to support, and ceiling heights. Common options include steel I-beams or H-beams, which offer high strength for long spans, and engineered wood products like Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) or Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam). A structural engineer, collaborating with Hometelligent Inc., will specify the appropriate beam material and size for your specific project to ensure optimal structural integrity.",
