Abstract
Recently Davis and Jedwab introduced the notion of covering extended building sets to construct abelian difference sets. In this paper we consider a family of covering extended building sets similar to the ones corresponding to Hadamard difference sets and Spence difference sets and derive some numerical restrictions on the parameters.
