It is surely not free standing one therefore I assumed it is integrated. I am happy for it to be built under anyway. I will need a raised box put under it and then the kick board in the same colour as the rest of the kitchen. I am sure it will look good and I love this machine...

Nop that's definitely not an integrated dishwasher. Yes you will need a raised box but with your bench height the dishwasher kick will actually be a lot higher than your kitchen kick(assuming the kitchen kick is standard 130-150mm) The door section of most dishwashers is very close in height to the door height of a standard height kitchen. By having a higher benchtop you will have to live with a few misalignment issues.

As your bench height is 1000 your door height will be around 820 assuming you keep a standard 140 kicker. The door of your dishwasher is 720 so the bottom of your cabinet doors will sit lower than your dishwasher door by around 100mm if you put a plinth under the dishwasher. You could pack on top of the dishwasher and put a panel above to keep the door line correct, however your dishwasher will then be at a standard height so a bit more bending over. Or you may be happy with the 100mm misalignment across the bottom. Edit: just re-read your post. You are obviously going to have very big kickers, around 240. You lose some good cabinet space by doing that but overcome the dishwasher issues.

I will give my builder a call and find out what did I pay for I am intrigued...

I'm from Germany and it annoys me endlessly that many just can't be bothered to make a bit of an extra effort. People are nowadays taller but the kitchen height remains the same. It is a matter of comfort and less back pain. In Germany kitchen heights are taller too. In Germany we measure the most suitable height for a kitchen bench by adjusting an ironing board that the distance between an angled arm and the ironing board is 15cm. I guess the large kitchen companies in EU must have figured that out. Our new kitchen is higher than the standard. I wanted to have my carcasses to be 780mm, which is not standard. We have an XXL dishwasher that needs a bit more height too. Only through friends who have a higher benchtop we realised how much more comfortable it is. Yes, it is worth the cost because YOU are working in the kitchen and YOU want to have less pain. The real comfort in a kitchen in my view is to have the dishwasher installed higher and the bin drawer just under the benchtop.

We are thinking 930 bench Heights. I’m 168 heigh and am not sure if this would be too heigh. Thank you. Re: Kitchen height 29Jun 18, 2020 12:09 pm delatite13 Hi doubledutch We have owner built 4 houses, all with kitchen benches higher than standard, no problems. First 2 had 950mm high and last 2 have 1000mm. Love the higher working height. No problems with the dishwasher either. The cabinet maker simply adds a small infill panel above the dishwasher, or makes a little platform for it to sit on. Would you mind telling me your height please? We are thinking 930 bench Heights. I’m 168 heigh and am not sure if this would be too heigh. Thank you. Re: Kitchen height 30Jun 18, 2020 12:10 pm Mclaren We had our kitchen benches raised to 930mm and unbelievably at no extra cost. We both hate stooping to wash dishes etc. Good luck with your plans ... Would you mind telling me your height please? We are thinking 930 bench Heights. I’m 168 heigh and am not sure if this would be too heigh. Thank you. ok thanks - yes was wondering if that should have been listed as Option Three! 2 7754 I'll look into different shower heads and ask the plumber about some engineering and see what he says.
