Level of detail to get like for like construction quotes

Hi there , I have planning permission and building regs approved with drawings for a renovation project. It includes raising part of a roof, re-roofing, a garage conversion, single storey extension and knowing walls down internally, some rewiring, plastering, painting, new bath and kitchen. We are basically ready to get cracking on our project. I am currently trying to get some pricing but keep being asked for more detail. The building regs obvious specify windows etc but I've been asked exactly what wood the stairs need to be made of and what type of doors... This level of detail isn't in the building regs and hasn't been specified by the architect. I haven't worked out that level of detail and would need help choosing windows etc I thought I could work with my builder to do this but they are asking for all of this up front. Can someone help me understand to what level of detail I need to go to get 3 quotes? What would normally be included in the request to quote? Should I be getting my architect to provide this? we agreed he would provide build regs plans and he has approval granted What do you need to be able to do a fixed price quote Thanks in advance
