    Me thinks that it is either Aussie or Kiwi...definitely 90 x 45 LVL joists (F 17 stress grade mark on one, indicates metric country...) over paired 90 x 45 (=90 x 90) bearers on brick piers. Note treated pine fence boards, brick veneer wall at rear, not pointed, ready for 'rendering' (stucco) finish. Also external support is single skin brick with engaged piers. All typical construction down here. LVL and Engineered I beams have been manufactured here since the early 90's, and came into mainstream use not long after. Almost ALL headers, lintels, beams etc are LVL these days. Much of it treated H2 for mildew and termite resistance or H3 for that and rot resistance. And all local made product (some imported from Canada), is all Radiata Pine, plantation grown in Aus and NZ. A great use of what is basically a shiite wood! Cheers, guys
