Schedules on the drawings can have many advantages. The information is always available to the contractors. Specifications are simpler since the variable information is on the drawings. You can create a master schedule , insert it into the drawings and edit it when you are ready to make the decisions.
The Painting Schedule and the Sealant Schedule can cover the entire topic by specifying both what to use and where to use it.
The schedules below are samples of edited schedules that we have used.

The Raised Counter Detail provides a counter integrated with a raised floor so that the clerk can be seated while the patron is standing . Without a platform, the patron looms over the clerk. Eye contact between clerk and patron is normal. An alternative solution is a tall counter at which the clerk sits on a stool. It is preferable for the patron to remain standing to keep the transaction from taking longer than needed.

Elevations and Details of Architectural Wood Panelling are a good practice. In some simple projects they may not be required. However, by detailing the conditions, you create a basis for requiring the level of design that you want the project to receive. 

These details are suggested to show and specify any special configuration, construction and materials required for the conditions required at the terminations, joints and door frames that occur in the panelling.

A specification or extensive notes are required to further tie down the materials and quality required for the project.
