> Source: https://deviationcheck.com/divisions/03-concrete/aesthetic-deviation/

A visible attribute (color, finish, texture, profile) differs from the spec or the architect-approved sample.

## What to look for in Division 03 Concrete

Applies primarily to architectural concrete:
- Form finish class (as-cast, rubbed, sack-rubbed, sandblasted, bushhammered)
- Exposed aggregate finish (size, color, exposure depth)
- Integral concrete color (pigment dosage and color match)
- Precast panel finish and texture (acid-etched, sandblasted, polished, form-liner pattern)
- Concrete stain or sealer appearance (gloss level, color)
- Form-liner pattern for architectural cast-in-place

## Severity

Default grade: Fix and Resubmit. Owner-sensitive; the PM confirms against the approved sample before accepting.
