residential specifications
(OP)
For those of you who do a lot of single-family residential projects in the U.S., what is the extent of specifications usually provided?
Do you provide:
A. Only notes on the drawings
B. Full CSI 3-part specification project manual
C. Something in between
Or maybe a better question would be what do construction lenders typically require?
This would be for an entire house construction project (including cabinetry, appliances, etc.), not just the structural work. Are there any public-domain guide specs available that are geared towards single-family residential projects?

Regarding the original post, always has been general structural notes on the drawings.

What got me wondering about this was looking at some banks' requirements for construction loans on the internet. They all want "specifications" to be submitted in addition to the plans. Do they just mean a checklist or outline that specifies all the materials (cabinets, siding, roofing, etc.) that will be used so they can appraise the value? Or do they really mean specifications as we use the word in the construction industry (CSI format, etc.)?
