Before installation, verify that existing cabinetry is permanently fixed, level, and plumb to prevent stress fractures in the stone. Clear the workspace entirely of debris and old materials. Ensure all plumbing and sink cutouts are aligned according to final measurements. If supports are needed for heavy overhangs, these must be installed prior to the templating phase. A clean, stable, and accessible site is essential for accurate laser templating and the safe transport of heavy countertop slabs.

Professional countertop installation requires a level, structurally sound cabinet base. Site preparation includes clearing the area of existing fixtures, ensuring cabinets are perfectly shimmed for levelness, and verifying that plumbing or electrical rough-ins are properly located.
