What changed
Even in projects where cabinets are selected early, worktop templating and fabrication often remain dependent on final measurements, site conditions and product choices that are still moving.
That keeps templating later in the programme than many homeowners expect when they first compare lead times.
Why it matters
A kitchen can appear close to completion while the worktop path is still open. Sink model, hob cut-out, upstands and wall finish can all affect what the templater needs to see on site.
If those dependencies are not recorded, the homeowner may plan around cabinet delivery while the surface installation remains unresolved.
What homeowners may need to revisit
Template appointment date
Sink and hob model confirmation
Upstand and splashback decisions
Who attends the template visit
Fabrication and install lead time after templating
Where Pocketa fits
Pocketa helps keep templating dates, dependent product choices and sequencing notes visible so the late-stage worktop path does not get lost after the main order is placed.
