## Measure and record the room

Sketch every wall and record dimensions, ceiling height, doors, windows and fixed services. Note the floor and wall finishes used for the measurements and photograph anything that is hidden or may change. Enter the room and openings in the planner; the example below is not a measurement of your home.

## Decide what the kitchen must do

List the appliances you will keep or replace and the storage and worktop space you use daily. Compare layouts before choosing colours. Check the path between the sink, cooking area and fridge, and see whether doors and drawers can open. Record decisions and questions for your designer or installer.

## Get comparable quotes

Give each supplier the same drawing, appliance information and scope. Ask which cabinets, worktops, delivery, removal, electrical work, plumbing, permits, taxes and installation are included. Keep amounts you have not confirmed separate rather than treating them as zero. Use the budget guide to record your own estimates.

## Confirm the final details

Before ordering, have the site checked after changes to walls or floors, and confirm the selected products and their installation requirements. Agree on the schedule, responsibilities and how changes will be priced with the people doing the work. A digital plan and the checklist support the discussion; they are not a final construction specification.
