An accurate cut list saves remakes, and remakes cost you time. This guide walks through the measurements we actually need for a kitchen cabinet order, the three most common dimensioning mistakes, and how to check your numbers before you send them to us.
The checklist
- Measure wall-to-wall at floor level, 900mm height, and ceiling height
- Note any ceiling slope, bulkhead, or cornice
- Mark every power point, gas point, water inlet and waste
- Record window sill heights and depths
- Measure appliance cut-outs to manufacturer specs
- Photograph each wall with a tape measure visible for our reference
- Double-check everything before submitting
