Starting with the preparation of for the custom cabinets we want to locate where the plumbing and gas hook up is in the kitchen. Once have found where they are located those to you measure out where they are in proportion to the rest of the layout. You start from the edge of the kitchen, where the cabinets start, and you go all the way until you find it sticking out of the wall. If there are currently cabinets in place you find the center of the sink and measure from there. For the gas line it’s a little more complicated. You have to take a straight surface like a meter stick and make sure it pops out of the custom cabinets directly inward to the center of the kitchen. From that strategic location, I can now take my tape measure and see exactly where the gas line is from the outside of the cabinets. Each stove is using a standard size to fit any kitchen so designers know how to figure that into the layout. Next we you take your graph paper and make an outline of the kitchen’s layout. I prefer to use a erasable pen to do my sketches but you can use a pencil. Besides the stove you also have to take into account that there is a fridge somewhere in the kitchen. Not all refrigerators are the same size so go ahead and measure that out to be safe. A lot of them are the same size. If you are getting a prefabricated kitchen instead of custom cabinets then usually they have a generic size that fits most appliances. If you plan on have your microwave inside the cabinet area you want to take note where it is located. If not it’ll have to be on the counter-top. For this example the refrigerator is on the far right hand side of the kitchen. And the stove is in the middle of the same side. How I proceed with receiving the dimensions is I start at the far side wall and mark where the far side of the fridge is from the wall. Next I mark the far side of the stove. Finally, I get the whole length of the kitchen. On the other side of the kitchen is the sink. Take note that a smart cabinet maker will usually place each utility in a triangular shape top one another. This is smart planning to make the kitchen function normally. Like I said previously make sure you get the center of the sink and then continue on with the length of that side if it differentiates to the other side. Sinks are all standard sizes. Finally, you can send these credentials to the person who designs the custom cabinets, if that’s not you, and they will help you figure out what the pricing will be. If you are a contractor you will you will go and deliver the price to your customer if you are the customer you look for someone to do the job.
