Clear the room and inspect what is revealed

Before dismantling begins, agree who will make the appliances safe and disconnect them, and who will empty the cupboards. Identify anything you want to reuse and agree where it can be protected. Review access to the building, which routes need covering and what happens to removed materials. After the kitchen has been cleared, have the previously hidden surfaces checked. A wall can change thickness behind the units, or the existing floor may stop at the old cabinet line. When a design decision depends on one of these checks, make it an explicit point in the schedule so the next operation starts with the condition of the room established.

Check connections before closing the walls

Once the cabinet drawings are confirmed, the professionals responsible can coordinate water, waste, power and extraction. The order depends on how the connection points can be reached. Before chases are closed, compare locations and heights against the current drawings and appliance instructions. Work out how the connections can be reached once the units are fitted. Where useful, keep photographs and measurements from fixed points as references. If you change the hob, sink or extractor model, check whether that changes any connection straight away. A correction agreed before the wall is finished affects the schedule differently from the same correction after the cabinets go in.

Coordinate preparation, finishes and deliveries

Plan the walls, flooring and splashback around the actual materials and their fitting and drying requirements. Ask who will confirm the surfaces are ready. If the floor goes under the cabinets, decide how it will be protected during deliveries and assembly. If the wall tiles stop above an installed worktop, the final height of the worktop will be their reference. Agree delivery appointments around storage space and confirmed fitting dates. For an occupied home in Pescara, consider how long you will be without the kitchen and how you will reach other rooms while the entrance route is being used to carry materials through.

Put measuring and fitting in the calendar

A worktop may need to be templated once the base units are in place and level. Ask when that can happen, which supports need to be final and which items must be on site, such as the sink or hob. The worktop may need a different delivery route from the cabinet boxes. Once the base units are fitted, check that adjacent doors and drawers can open before the appliance connections are made. Record delivery dates separately from connection appointments. Prepare a list of the products already on site and identify who brings any fittings, traps or components listed in the appliance installation packs.

Finish with checks in use

Book a walkthrough so you can examine accessible details and see the kitchen in use with the people who fitted it. Ask them to show you how to remove the filters, where to find the shut-offs and which instructions to keep. Open neighbouring doors and look at the fit of profiles, joints and edges. Write down any items that need another visit and agree who will handle them. Collect the care instructions, appliance documents and latest drawings in one place. The schedule is complete once the agreed checks have been carried out and any touch-ups have a named person responsible and a date to return.
