The more information you give your team means the more you are doing to help your job be built correctly.
The issue of product selection vs. specification writing is common. Office master guide specifications are crucial. If you have an office master guide specification, get it to your team because that is the best place for them to start. Everyone has printers that can print out a whole spec in 15 minutes or less. But garbage in = garbage out. Product selection is the designer’s responsibility. There are all types of performance and proprietary specifications in a single spec manual for a project. Make sure you are doing what’s appropriate with the different descriptive, performance and proprietary specs.
