How detailed should home improvement contracts be? In California?

My general contractor has put together a contract that has minimal information regarding materials and scope of work. However, he has added a bit more detail in a letter that he references in the contract. Is that then part of the contract or not? I do not sign the letter only he does.

How detailed should the contract be? Should all materials be listed ie 100 2X4 and 4 xyz beams. X number of plywood etc. or is it okay if it just says build out for proposed family room of 300 square feet as noted in city approved plans?

I need help. I am just really trying to get this right. :0(

Thank you
