1. Once you settle on a layout, use graph paper to draw a very detailed floor plan of your new kitchen. Use dotted lines to fill in the base cabinets and appliances, and use solid lines to show the wall cabinets and countertops. (For straight runs of cabinets, leave a margin of about 3" to allow for adjustments during cabinet installation.) In the margins around the wall outline, indicate dimensions of kitchen elements and the distances between them.
2. Use colored pencils to mark the locations of plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets, and lighting fixtures; also show the locations of the heating registers, radiators, or fixtures.
3. Draw a detailed, precise front elevation for each wall of your kitchen, using a scale of ½" equals 1 ft. Mark the vertical and horizontal measurements of all features, including doors, windows, wood moldings, cabinets, countertops, appliances, and soffits. Draw a side elevation of each wall of the kitchen, complete with all measurements. When satisfied with the elevation drawings, add the locations for plumbing pipes, electrical outlets, and lighting fixtures. Create close-up detailed drawings of problem spots, such as the areas where appliances butt against window frames.
