AI-generated illustrative design concept; not a completed CBD Projects project, approved drawing or technical compliance detail.
A luxury kitchen can be compromised by a small change in appliance model. Door swings, ventilation, utility positions and cabinet clearances vary, and a replacement chosen after joinery production may not fit the approved elevation. A controlled appliance schedule connects the design to procurement and services.
Select or define each appliance before final joinery drawings, record manufacturer installation data and coordinate utilities, openings, ventilation and service access. Treat provisional models clearly and set a decision deadline.
Create one controlled appliance schedule
List brand-neutral function, confirmed model, dimensions, finish, door handing, utilities and delivery status for every appliance. Include small built-in items, waste units and specialist equipment that affect cabinetry.
Give the schedule a revision date and owner. Product links in messages are not a reliable construction record, especially when suppliers substitute regional models.
Draw doors and user space
Show refrigerator, oven, dishwasher and cabinet doors fully open together with island stools and circulation. Check handles, adjacent walls and worktop overhangs. Consider how hot trays, groceries and dishes move through the room.
The final layout should support the household’s actual cooking pattern, not only a symmetrical elevation. Review the wider workflow through the custom joinery guide.
Coordinate every utility point
Use manufacturer instructions and qualified designers to position power, water, drainage, gas where applicable and ventilation. Keep valves, isolators and connections accessible without removing fixed cabinets.
Do not place outlets from generic assumptions. A few centimetres can determine whether an appliance slides fully into its enclosure or crushes a hose behind it.
Provide ventilation and heat clearances
Review ventilation openings, heat rejection and separation requirements for the selected products. Integrate grilles or shadow gaps intentionally into the joinery while preserving the supplier’s installation conditions.
Coordinate cooker extraction with the kitchen layout, ceiling and external route through the responsible engineers. Decorative concealment must not obstruct maintenance or required airflow.
Inspect before and after installation
Verify openings and service points before appliances arrive. Protect finished floors and plan the delivery route through doors, lifts or stairs. Have suppliers install and commission equipment within their scope.
At handover, test doors, controls and adjacent drawers, and provide manuals and warranty information. Record models so future replacements can be checked against the actual cabinetry.
Frequently asked questions
Can joinery start before appliances are purchased?
It can proceed only with controlled, approved appliance data or defined openings and risks. Final models should be confirmed as early as possible.
Who connects the appliances?
The scope should identify qualified installers and any manufacturer commissioning required for each utility and product.
