Just before the project starts
If a Kitchen Studio is managing your project, then by now, you probably have a schedule, and they may well be managing most aspects of the installation.
If you are piecing things together yourself or working with a single kitchen fitter or sole trader, you may need to be more hands-on. Start getting your space ready for the work to begin. Clear out any existing cabinetry, declutter your space, and do a final check that all your trades are ready to start.
