Kitchen renovation in Croatia: coordinate joinery with plumbing and electrical rough-ins

A custom kitchen looks seamless only when the electrical and plumbing rough-ins are positioned with millimetre precision. Coordinating the cabinet design with the construction site before the plastering phase prevents last-minute cutting of expensive joinery.

Finalize the kitchen design before chasing walls

The positions of the sink, dishwasher, oven, fridge and induction hob dictate where water, drainage and power lines must go. A generic kitchen plan is not enough for the construction phase; the exact cabinet dimensions mapped by your interior design team are needed before the electrician and plumber start work.

Align electrical sockets with joinery grids

Sockets for countertop appliances, LED driver locations and power supplies for integrated white goods must align with the cabinet layout. Misplaced sockets end up bridging cabinet seams, sitting too close to the sink, or requiring unsightly extensions inside the cupboards.

Position plumbing for accessible maintenance

Water supply lines, angle valves and drainage connections must be placed exactly where the sink cabinet provides access, avoiding interference with pull-out bins or drawers. Early coordination ensures your apartment renovation avoids crushed pipes.

Coordinate ventilation and extractor routes

Whether using a ceiling hood, a wall-mounted extractor or an integrated downdraft system, the duct route to the outside needs to be confirmed. Bulkheads, ceiling heights and structural constraints often require ducting to be installed long before the cabinets arrive.

Verify dimensions after plastering and screed

Once the walls are plastered and the floor screed is laid, the room dimensions change. The site team must verify the final measurements against the kitchen drawings before manufacturing begins. Contact our team if you need professional coordination for your project.
