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.

    To expand a bit more.... 36" is the minimum width you want in between, 42" is the minimum you want if you have a dishwasher, etc in between so you have room to walk around and if you have a double oven then you would want 48" in between.
