Default LVL Beam No End Support
This LVL Beam had no end support, but there was no movement of the floor above. The beam is in a cantilever situation but in the middle of the house. No way to contact the manufacture on Christmas Eve. Any Comments. Be gentle.

Based on past experience I would recommend installation of a bracket.

Verify design with engineer of record to maintain structural integrity.

It's probably attached from above so it's OK No, really it should have a post but you don't need to tell them HOW to fix it, only that it should be reviewed by an architect/engineer/framing contractor etc. whatever is appropriate in your area due to not having proper end bearing.

There is probably an air-jack under same.... it can easily be seen with an IR camera....recommend that client pay for an IR inspection to verify same.
