In this section, we'll pick up from the point where the setting out has been completed and the cabinets are ready to install.

The first step in the installation process is to determine what the finishing height of the bench top will be.

Once the height has been established, you should subtract the thickness of the bench top and then draw a horizontal line around the room to mark where the tops of the cabinets will finish.

This forms the 'zero point', or reference line for the installation.
