Roughcasting is applying roughcast—a coarse plaster mixed with pebbles or gravel—to exterior walls.
The technique creates a textured, durable finish common on British and Irish buildings.
Figuratively, roughcasting means shaping something in preliminary or crude form: The committee spent the morning roughcasting a proposal.
