Foundation beams are usually calculated by the architect/ structural engineer, and a drawing enclosed given the sizes of rebar, basically the materials should be available from your nearest steel stockest, you will have bent square steel, with the long steels threaded through and wire tied together, all done on site.

Hi you cann't buy a beam you must make one or employ someone who can, as the guys say above you need some calculations from a engineer, because first to know the spec of concrete and steel design, and second the building inspector will require them, regard tom
