        "text": "Before your contractor arrives for templating and final installation, clear everything off your current countertops, kitchen island, and table. Empty the base cabinets beneath the sink and cooktop so tradespeople have unhindered access to plumbing shutoffs, drain lines, and gas or electrical connections. You must also have your new sink, faucet, soap dispenser, and cooktop on-site before templating begins. Fabricators require the exact manufacturer specifications and physical fixtures to cut accurate holes for undermount basins, drop-in appliances, and plumbing supply lines.",
