[quote=Anonymous]The cabinet supplier should have a designer, work with them

Check the designers work.

Wall cabinets usually have a depth of 12”.

Get under cabinet lighting too.

Pulling permits? Get familiar with what is required. Ask local permit office. They are helpful and their primary objective is your safety.

Take pictures every day at the end of each work day.

Understand your appliances requirements. You may or may not need dedicated circuits.

Now’s a good time to optimize space in a small kitchen. Designer can help here. A little extra money now can be very helpful in gaining storage space.

Get rid of soffits. Know what’s exactly behind them before you do so.

Your kitchen walls are not plum. There will be minor adjustments to make. It’s par for the course.

This is personal preference but don’t take cabinets all the way to ceiling. Use molding. It will help with making kitchen look taller plus it will help with your ceiling not being plum.

Ask questions to your project manager. They should tell you what will be done. Check that the workers are actually following the plan, daily.

There will always be something that will come up. Always. Your contractor will have experience to give you options.
