        "text": "The peninsula should be finalized in the design plan before cabinets and countertops are ordered, but the countertop should be field-measured after the base cabinets are installed and secured. This reduces the risk of incorrect overhangs, seams, and wall measurements.\n\nContext: Existing walls are not always square, and small cabinet adjustments can change the finished dimensions. Ordering a stone or quartz top too early can create fit problems.\n\nKey factors:\n- Final cabinet alignment\n- Wall irregularities\n- Required seating overhang\n- Sink or cooktop cutouts\n\nPractical guidance: Approve the cabinet layout first, install and level the bases, then arrange the countertop template. Confirm all appliances and hardware before fabrication.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design can coordinate design development, cabinet installation, and countertop sequencing within one remodeling plan.",
