Kitchen Measurement Guide - East Point Cabinets

Create a clear first-measurement package for your kitchen or cabinet project. Everything in this worksheet is recorded in inches and organized for our design team.

Before you measure

  1. Sketch the room from above. Include every wall, corner, door, window, opening and island.
  2. Move clockwise. Name the walls Wall A, Wall B, Wall C and continue around the room.
  3. Measure complete walls. Measure corner-to-corner at countertop height and note any difference at floor or ceiling level.
  4. Record openings. For each door or window, enter width, height and distance from the left corner—including trim.
  5. Add appliances and utilities. Mark the sink, water lines, drain, gas, outlets, hood vent and appliance dimensions.
  6. Take clear photos. Photograph every wall straight-on, then take wide photos from opposite corners. Include soffits and utility connections.

Safety: Do not move heavy appliances or climb on counters. Customer measurements support the first design and estimate; final measurements must be verified before cabinets are ordered.

Step 1

Project information

Step 2

Walls

Start with Wall A and move clockwise. Measure each complete wall corner-to-corner at countertop height.

Step 3

Doors, windows and openings

Measure the opening including trim and its distance from the left corner of the selected wall.

Step 4

Appliances and utilities

Add appliances plus the sink, water, drain, gas, outlets and hood vent. Enter appliance width, height and depth.

Step 5

Draw the room from above

Use your finger, mouse or stylus. The starter rectangle labels Walls A–D; adjust it or clear it for an irregular room. Add doors, windows, openings, island and utility locations.

Step 6

Photos and notes

Step 7

Review your measurement package

This drawing is a planning reference and is not automatically to scale. East Point Cabinets will review the information and confirm whether a final onsite verification is required.
