Although existing services can usually be moved, this this is sometimes quite expensive and can be awkward. Wherever possible, try to plan your kitchen round the existing services. Now refer back to your rough drawing and transfer the service points, doors, windows etc to your plan with overall sizes.

Refer back to the notes you made on what you expect from your kitchen. Use the following check list to assist you:
