Test the layout before selecting finishes
Think about the space used when a dishwasher, refrigerator or drawer is open. Note where another person needs to pass and where food preparation takes place. Have your designer evaluate these relationships before increasing cabinet depth, adding seating or changing the island.
Prepare a sketch of the existing room and a separate list of proposed moves. Include appliance models, windows, doorways and ceiling changes. If you plan to retain flooring, discuss how a different cabinet footprint would be finished. Each decision should answer a practical need.
- Identify circulation conflicts and storage priorities.
- Mark all dimensions as preliminary until verified.
- Keep product replacements separate from layout alterations.
Know when Madison requires plan review
Madison’s online-permit guidance identifies changes to walls, including non-load-bearing walls, and moving or adding permanent fixtures such as cabinets, counters or islands as work requiring plan review. The page distinguishes that route from eligible repair-or-replacement permit applications.
Review your full scope with Building Inspection before selecting an application type. Madison’s process is not automatically the process for Middleton, Fitchburg or another community in the metro; confirm the authority for the project address.

Compare what will actually be installed
Require a labeled cabinet schedule with construction, finish, hardware and accessories. Compare finished panels and trim as carefully as the cabinet boxes. Ask whether countertop measurement, fabrication and cutouts are included in the same scope.
Combine product pricing with delivery, installation, trade work, taxes and membership. Confirm final measurements before order approval and establish how substitutions will be handled. Written receiving and damage-reporting instructions help coordinate the purchase with the installer rather than leaving responsibility unclear when products arrive.
Explore materials in person
Ask HIBC about showroom options near your project in Madison area. Share your city, state and product interests so visit arrangements and availability can be confirmed separately. Our service begins online.
Does removing a non-load-bearing wall avoid plan review?
Madison’s guidance includes changes to non-load-bearing walls among work requiring plan review. Ask Building Inspection and your project professional to confirm the requirements for the exact scope before starting.
Review and membership costs
Your initial kitchen review is free and does not enroll you. Gold membership is a separate purchase: $4,995 initial enrollment includes Year 1, with $495 annual continuation beginning in Year 2 under the checkout terms. Detailed complimentary kitchen design is a Gold membership benefit. Include membership in a complete-cost comparison; actual savings depend on your products and alternative quotes.
Start with your project
Share your project city and state, kitchen photos or a rough sketch, and your top priorities. The free initial review is separate from Gold membership.

HIBC serves homeowners online nationwide. This is a service-area planning guide, not an HIBC office or showroom listing. Any independent showroom visit requires separate confirmation. Qualified project professionals must verify final measurements, construction feasibility, local approvals and installation requirements.
