• Hold 5 to 10% contingency for field adjustments
• Lock layout before cabinet fabrication
• Match quotes with identical line, finish, and install scope

Consultation → preliminary scope → design development → agreement → permits → construction → punch list → warranty walkthrough.

Submit permits when layout is stable; order long-lead items after rough-in requirements are known.

Failed rough inspections should be cleared before cover-up. Punch lists belong in writing before final payment.

Field measurement records wall lengths at multiple heights, floor level across the run, ceiling height at each corner, window and door casings, plumbing and electrical locations, and existing soffits. Cabinets are dimensioned from this reality, not from builder prints that rarely match it.

Choose in this order: door profile, finish family (matte, gloss, woodgrain), exact finish from physical samples in your home, hardware last. Sequencing prevents the showroom overwhelm of facing hundreds of finishes at once.

• Cabinet widths against the measured plan, including fillers
• Drawer vs door configuration for every base cabinet
• Appliance openings against confirmed model specs
• Outlet, switch, and vent locations relative to backsplash runs
• Crown, light rail, and end-panel details at exposed sides

Installation runs 2 to 5 days for most kitchens: protection down, bases set level against the measured datum, uppers hung, panels and fillers scribed, doors and drawers adjusted, hardware aligned. Out-of-level floors, normal in older Boise homes, are absorbed at the base so counters land flat.

Door and drawer alignment, consistent reveals, hardware placement, soft-close operation on every hinge and slide, scribe and caulk lines at walls and ceilings (especially in older Boise homes), finish touch-ups, and interior accessory operation. Walk every cabinet, open everything, and look down sight lines where reveals show.
