It looks normal to me too apart from the fact that the gap isn't the same all the way, sort of like the cabinet to the left is askew?

Start checking for square on cabinets walls and the countertop and level for the floor. Then go from there

Either your kitchen designer designed that in, and you would have asked why during the design phase. Or the cabinet installer left more space than was in the design and there are other things off too.

Pull out your signed design documents and look at the spacing allotted in the diagrams.

This is why most places wont template a kitchen for counters until after the appliances are in.

Some gap is normal. That is much more than "some". I'm sure your GC will agree! (hopefully...)

Check the level like noted above--something isn't straight. Hopefully it's just he range because that's a simple adjustment. But that is a different, although related, problem. Even if the cabinets and range were perfectly plumb, your cabinets (and thus counters) are too far apart. At minimum you're going to want the counters redone. Trim painted to match on the cabinet sides might make that part better, but I would not be happy about it.

Also, check the installation specs on your range--many are not meant to be tucked so far into cabinetry like that. Trust your installer, but verify. :)

Thank you everyone for weighing in!

We are having trim added to either side and then painted to match, and then cabinets and backsplash are going to be redone. Just like @Fori suggested. The cabinet makers are going to eat the cost of the new counters, because they misread the cut out dimensions. Hopefully we will be back on track soon.

I know that some amount of gap is normal. But usually it is much narrower. And even with a narrow gap, I hate how dirt gets trapped in it. I usually find some heat-resistant caulk and seal it. It's not the manufacturer-recommended procedure, but it has been working fine for me for years. Every couple of years, when the caulk looks grimy, I replace it.

With these huge gaps, there is no way caulk can seal things. So, yes, I'd insist on them fixing things. And I'd also insist on them making everything plumb and straight.

Congrats, you're dealing with some real stand-up companies here. It's a pretty kitchen and it's nice to hear people are taking responsibility for their mistakes.

Thank you guys so much for all of your input and knowledge. All my countertop problems were resolved. They ended up pulling the countertops and the backsplash, and then adding in a piece of white trim they painted over to narrow the gap, and it is not noticeable at all! THWe are about to move in and I just wanted to share a picture of the finished product. Hope you guys are well!

All the best in your new home!

Wow, that's beautiful! Glad it was fixed to your satisfaction, Sure looks good!

Were they able to reuse count

I would have plumbed the left cabinet which would have narrowed the gap and only replaced one small top. The inexpensive templators unable to use a level and check appliance specifications will bankrupt these guys. You can only eat so many tops a year.
