Measuring and Site Survey

Measuring and site survey that records walls, windows, plumbing, wiring, floors and ceilings with care, because accurate numbers are what make cabinets fit.

Cabinets only fit if the measurements are right. A quarter inch can decide whether a door opens or a tall unit fits under a soffit. A careful site survey records every wall, window, outlet, vent and pipe, and notes where the walls are not straight or the floor is not level. Older Nashville homes in particular reward this kind of attention.

We arrive with laser measures, levels and cameras and record the room in detail. We measure wall lengths, ceiling heights, window and door positions, outlets, switches, vents, plumbing locations and appliance sizes, check corners for square and floors for level and photograph everything. We then draw the plan from those numbers, and we flag any questions for you or for the other trades. Accurate measuring is slow on purpose. We check each wall in several places, because walls can bow, and measure ceiling heights at both ends of a run. We record the location of every pipe, vent and outlet, photograph what we see and sketch anything unusual. When the drawings are made, we compare them with the photos, so what we build matches what is really in your home.

Questions

Measuring and Site Survey FAQ

Why is measuring so important?

Custom cabinets are built to the numbers. Good numbers mean a good fit.

Do you measure after demolition?

Often, yes. Final measurements are best taken when the walls and floors are in their final state.

What if my walls are not square?

We record it and plan fillers and scribing to make the cabinets fit.

Can you measure for appliances?

Yes. We use the installation sheets and the real appliances where possible.

Can I measure myself?

You can help, but we do the final measurement so the responsibility for fit is clear.
