Is it correct there I should be getting 730mm clearance like Orph and my elevation in the PC is wrong. I should wait for the final contract?

Overhead cupboards can be placed at what ever height you like. I think it only becomes an issues with people with low ceilings and limited space.

Last time someone told me it was some ridiculous amount being 45K but Renman can correct me on this. i.e. 3m downstairs and 2.7m upstairs.
