What to decide before commissioning the work
Record how the kitchen is used before selecting fronts or countertops. The position of the sink, hob, preparation surface and everyday appliances affects both movement and service coordination. Check appliance model requirements with the supplier; nominal appliance width does not include every ventilation, door or installation clearance.
Compare options against the same requirements
A useful cabinet plan allocates space to actual objects: cooking pots, dry food, cleaning supplies and small appliances. Decide which items need drawers, pull-outs or open shelves, then verify the internal dimensions. More cabinetry can reduce the working area if opening doors and circulation have not been tested together.
Your planning checklist
Bring a measured floor plan, photographs of the existing condition and a list of items you intend to retain. Use the checks below to make the consultation specific to your home.
- List appliance model numbers and installation requirements
- Mark preparation space beside the main cooking tasks
- Check door and drawer clashes on the plan
- Locate water, electrical and maintenance access
What to ask for in the quotation
Ask for a written, itemised scope. An online guide is not a quotation: product selection, site condition and the measured work determine what can be proposed. Resolve assumptions before approving fabrication or installation.
- Cabinet schedule with internal dimensions
- Countertop material, cut-outs and edge details
- Hardware model and quantity schedule
- Service changes and appliance installation responsibilities

Common questions
How should I prepare for a discussion about kitchen renovation?
Start with the actual property condition and your required outcome. In particular: list appliance model numbers and installation requirements; mark preparation space beside the main cooking tasks; check door and drawer clashes on the plan; locate water, electrical and maintenance access. Bring photographs and a floor plan so these points can be checked against the space.
Does this guide include a fixed price or approval for my home?
No. Prices require an agreed scope and site information. Where work needs assessment or approval, confirm the requirements with the appropriate authority, managing agent and appointed professional before it starts.
