The Kitchen & Bath Project Desk
The range is not coming on the day it was promised, and it is the last thing to go in — so the whole kitchen waits. This desk catches that weeks early, while there is still something to do about it.

What’s inside
- Nine databases for one kitchen with up to two bathrooms alongside — from the pile of quotes to the day the appliances are connected.
- Selections with computed decide-by dates: install date minus lead time minus buffer, because cabinets run eight to fourteen weeks and a late decision costs a trade visit.
- The appliance schedule with a fit check — actual widths off the specification sheet subtracted from the cabinet opening your joiner drew.
- The bid room with fourteen pre-written kitchen and bath scope lines and the excluded checkbox, where by-others, by-owner, and not-included all mean you pay.
- The build sequence — twelve stages in the only order they can happen — including the three countertop-template weeks nobody warns you about.
Who this is for
The three quiet weeks after the cabinets go in are not a delay — they are the sequence. The fabricator will not template a countertop until the cabinets are physically in, because walls are not square, and then the stone is in the shop for ten to fourteen working days. If your contractor’s programme does not show that gap, they have not planned it.
