    Once the layer of sand and concrete is applied (known as finishing) usually painting is next. Perhaps the finishing was done poorly so they want to smooth the surface with a skim coat applied to sand down for effect. Won't hurt, but is more costly. Done a few builds and have never seen nor done that. It's your build so I suggest "you do the saying and they do the listening"

    We used skimcoat on our house. It does give a smoother finish and it's actually not expensive. The main part of the cost is the labour time to apply it.
