no not normal… fabricator played measured before cabinets installed?

"We" do nothing. Call the cabinet installer. This is on them.

Should have been a cabinet panel between the cabinet and waterfall side. Drawers need clearance against a side object. That should have been done before the counters went on. Obviously. It also looks potentially like a design choice for a shadow line all around the cabinets, as that exists on the upper portion as well.

The GC never showed up and the carpenter pretended to be a designer which is why there are endless mistakes that we have to live with

Joseph do you mean he should charge for a simple filler?

Of course he should have charged for a panel there—not a filler. It’s too late now. Every single detail on a job costs time and money to create and install.

This whole debacle is what happens when you want a designer look, are ignorant as to the thousands of details that make the look, and refuse to pay a designer to create and coordinate all the many details, to get the look. You get the Temu knockoff version.
