My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Where are the outlets hidden around the vanities?

    they could just be on the left side of both tall cabinets, or inside both cabinets.

      They may be hidden inside the cabinet. I have done that in bathrooms. Even at the back of the drawer.

      Depending on where this photo is from, and whether this work was done with a building permit, they may have just chosen (although an odd choice) not to have outlets. Most codes require at least one GFCI countertop outlet on a vanity and hidden behind a drawer would not meet code in my experience.

      Yes, you definitely have to meet code. Codes vary by city and I you would want to put it on a GFCI even if it is in a cabinet. I have also seen outlets in the bottom of the the light fixture but you would have to purchase that kind of fixture and I don't think that would be easy.

      Thank you for your interest in this project! The outlets are inside the vanity drawers. This project meets all local code requirements. Codes requirements vary from different areas, and I would recommend checking the specific codes for your location before any instillation.
