  "articleBody": "Ordering custom cabinetry is a major investment in your home's functionality and aesthetic value. Because custom cabinets are built to order, small measurement or coordination errors can lead to expensive delays.\n\nCommon Mistakes to Avoid\n- Approving shop drawings before site verification: Never sign off on cabinet drawings based solely on architectural plans. A licensed professional must verify real field dimensions after framing is in place.\n- Ordering before finalizing appliance specs: Changing your refrigerator, microwave drawer, or cooktop dimensions after casework production begins creates costly cabinet modifications on site.\n- Overlooking door swings and clearance: Placing deep pullout drawers or cabinet doors right next to door trim, window casings, or adjacent appliance handles can prevent them from opening fully.\n- Skipping utility coordination: Custom cabinets must accommodate internal plumbing traps, water lines, under-cabinet lighting drivers, and electrical outlets without compromising shelf integrity.\n- Installing cabinets before the room is ready: Installing casework before finished drywall, utility rough-ins, or floor leveling is complete invites moisture damage and alignment issues.\n\nGetting custom casework right requires seamless collaboration between design, rough trades, and trim carpentry.
