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.

    Hello. The back perimeter is 24"D to allow for a small refrigerator. The standard recommended walk space between the bar and back wall cabinets should be 3'-4'. This one is 4' clearance. The lower bar island is 25"D and upper bar island is 16"D.
