Dishwashers & floorboards whilst building with PD

Hi all

Has anyone experienced putting in a floating timber floor after handover from PD and then having issues fitting in the dishwasher in the dishwasher space height wise.

I am about to sign my consturction drawings and noticed that my bench top is 900mm from slab level which seems to be the standard and if I add the floorboards under the dishwasherwill their still be enough room to fit in the dishwasher PD are supplying.

I am expecting the floorboards to raise the floor level upto 20mm

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I think all benchtops are 900mm as standard. That's what ours were. We put our floating floors in after, and it was fine (our floating floor probably only added about 12mm). I would measure your dishwasher, but a lot of them have adjustable feet, and are usually only 850 - 860mm or so tall anyway. You should be fine, but husband (cabinet maker) says measure your dishwasher!

We put ours in after handover and had no problem with the dishwasher fitting.

We're putting in solid timber floors which will raise the floor by 40mm thus were advised to raise all the kitchen benches by 40mm to compensate.

Ditto.
The only issue we had was the moulding (timber bead) around the kitchen cupboards fouling with the dishwasher.
