Before starting modular kitchen design, finalise the layout, electrical points, plumbing, materials, hardware, lighting, appliances, permissions, budget, payment schedule and timeline. Getting these 20 items signed off upfront prevents most cost overruns.
Key takeaways

- Approve samples, not photos
- Agree payment milestones
