Knowing your baseline dimensions keeps you from falling in love with cabinet sets or double ovens that simply will not fit. Note where shutoff valves and dedicated circuits enter the room.",

Separate essential functional upgrades like cabinet layout and landing space from decorative choices like tile backsplashes. Set aside a contingency reserve for unexpected issues hidden behind old drywall or under flooring.",

Confirm door swings, required clearances, and landing space next to cooking equipment and the sink. Finalizing appliance dimensions now prevents awkward cabinet modifications later during rough construction.",

Demolition happens first, followed immediately by rough mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades behind the walls. Never close walls with fresh drywall until all necessary rough trades and municipal checks are completed.",
