Build the finish schedule
A polished concrete finish schedule turns the selected appearance into instructions the project team can price, install and review. It should identify the finish for each area, the reference documents and the approved sample.
Craftsman Concrete reviews these requirements with the project team and coordinates an on-site sample before installation. If you are still choosing the finish, start with our styles of polished concrete guide.
| Field | What to record |
|---|---|
| Location | Room, zone or drawing reference |
| Aggregate exposure | Selected class and the document defining it |
| Appearance | Selected DOI level or image-clarity criterion |
| Specular gloss | Required value and measurement angle, if specified |
| Haze | Applicable limit and whether it is an average |
| Color | Selected treatment and color reference, or no added color |
| Reference documents | Titles and applicable editions or revisions |
| Approved sample | Identification of the accepted sample or mockup |
| Testing | Methods, locations, number of readings, measurement stage and responsible party |
Exposure, DOI and gloss belong in separate fields. One does not establish the others.
Name the document behind each classification. ACI and CPC references do not use identical criteria throughout; our gloss, DOI and haze guide explains those differences.
Prepare the schedule for issue
The example shows the format of a finish-schedule entry; its finish selections are examples, and bracketed fields need project-specific decisions before issue. The testing and approval instructions also need to be completed first, with measurements assigned to the correct stage, sampling and reporting responsibilities identified and an approved sample that represents the scheduled finish.
Example finish-schedule entry
The following illustrates the format. The finish selections are examples; bracketed fields need project-specific decisions before the entry is issued.
Area: [Room or zone]
Reference: ACI SPEC-310.1-20, with project-specific requirements identified in [specification section].
Aggregate exposure: Class B.
DOI appearance: Level 3.
Color: No added color.
Specular gloss: [State whether separately required; enter criterion and measurement angle.]
Haze: [Confirm the governing limit and averaging requirement.]
Approved sample: [Location or identification, approval date and approving party.]
Testing: [Methods and editions, sampling requirements, measurement stage, testing party and report recipient.]
This is a finish-schedule example, not a complete construction specification. Projects incorporating ACI should coordinate it with the full specification and its project selections. Our ACI 310.1-20 guide covers that process.
Complete the testing and approval instructions
Before issuing the schedule, confirm:
- Required measurements are assigned to the correct installation stage.
- Sampling and reporting responsibilities are identified.
- The approved sample represents the scheduled finish.
- Changes to the selected finish are reflected in both the schedule and approval record.
Use our measurement-stage guide and quality checks and sampling guide to develop the testing instructions. Our sample planning guide covers the physical reference and its approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, when the rooms share the same finish and requirements. Identify every covered area clearly and use separate entries for different selections.
Use the required appearance, governing criteria and approved sample to define the result. A grit number alone does not establish aggregate exposure, image clarity, gloss or haze.
No. Resolve the project-specific fields before issuing it for pricing or installation. The example organizes the decisions; it does not make them for the project.
