How to Measure a Kitchen Properly Before Sending It to a Carpenter, Marble Shop, or Installer

A practical guide to measuring a kitchen accurately and turning site measurements into a clean drawing for cabinetmakers, countertop fabricators, and installers.

Key points:
Disconnected measurement lists leave too much room for interpretation; a measured drawing communicates geometry.
Kitchen drawings should capture perimeter segments, diagonals or angles, obstacles, appliance references, and depth changes.
Checking whether geometry closes before leaving the site prevents expensive second visits and fabrication mistakes.
PDF and DXF exports let trades work from one shared reference instead of multiple text descriptions.
