Quick facts
- Measure in inches or millimetres and use one unit consistently
- Take width at more than one height where walls may be uneven
- Photograph the entire wall and adjacent corners
- Mark doors, windows, sockets, switches, AC units and skirting
For a TV wall
Provide the full wall width and height, TV size, desired cabinet depth if known, and photos showing nearby furniture and sockets. Mention whether lighting is wanted or not.
For a closet
Measure wall width, ceiling height and available depth. For L- or U-shaped layouts, measure every wall separately and note the door opening. Include the clear space that would remain between opposing cabinet runs.
For a kitchen
Record every wall, ceiling height, window and door. Add exact appliance dimensions and the locations of water, drainage, gas and electrical points. Note any existing countertop or appliance that must remain.
Why final verification still matters
Client measurements are useful for concept design and estimating, but walls can be out of square and floors can vary. Final production dimensions should be confirmed before materials are cut.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use feet and inches?
Yes, but be consistent and label every dimension clearly.
Should I measure the skirting board?
Yes. Skirting, moulding and other projections can affect how cabinetry meets the wall.
Are photos necessary if I send measurements?
Photos are strongly recommended because they reveal obstacles and room context that numbers alone may miss.
