Brush coating is not an OBC requirement and absence of brush coating is not a warranted issue. Brush coating is a concrete slurry sometimes applied over poured concrete foundation walls to provide a more uniform finish. Some variation in the colour or texture is acceptable. For surface finishes of exposed cast-in-place concrete foundation wall refer to 1.10. See Also: 1.8 PARGING (NOT BRUSH COATING) IS FALLING OFF ABOVE GRADE
