 Thank  you  for  considering  J.Thom  as  a  resource  for  your  project.    In  order  for  us  to  best  assist  you  it  is  important  for  us  to  understand  your  project  by  having  you  gather  some  basic  measurements  of  your  space.    To  help  guide  you  through  the  process  of  obtaining  these  basic  measurements  yourself  we  provide  this  Home  Survey  Workbook.              The  kit  consists  of      

• A  5  Step  Measurement  Tutorial  that  shows  how  to  correct-­‐ly  measure  the  different  parts  of  a  kitchen.  

• A  Project  Measurement  Summary  Worksheet  with  spaces  for  you  to  record  your  measurements

 • Graph  Paper  for  you  to  draw  a  basic  layout  of  the  existing  

space.      Upon  completion  of  the  Home  Survey  Workbook  you  may  bring  the  hardcopy  booklet  in  or  email  the  worksheet  and  graph  paper  to  our    Client  Services  Department  at  orders@j-­‐thom.com.    

Step 1

Take Dimensions for Wall, Soffit and Crown Molding

To do this be sure to measure every wall from side to side and notate your wall widths on the graph paper provided. Also, assign a wall number to each wall on the graph paper Drawing that will correspond with the worksheet. Next, measure the ceiling height and write it below the wall measurements on the Project Measurement Summary Worksheet. If your wall has soffits please check the box to notate whether your cabinets will extend to the soffits. Next you will need to determine if your cabinets will include molding. Please answer “yes” or “no” on your Project Measurement Summary Worksheet

Step 2

Measure Window Openings It is important that when measuring your windows your height and width measurements include trim. We need to know what the windowsill width and the window or sill distance is from the floor. Record your window measurements on the Project Measurement Summary Worksheet. On your Floor Plan Grid, please specify: the opening width and distance from the wall that you are measuring from.

Step 3 Measure Door Openings When measuring doors please include the trim in your measure-ments. On your floor plan grid drawing, please specify: the opening width and distance from the wall you are measuring from. Record the door/ width and height on the Project Summary worksheet.

Step 4 Measuring Utilities You will need to determine and record any utility connections that will affect the placement of your new cabinets. Go through your project area and record any utility connections such as water pipes (plumbing), elec-trical outlets, gas connections and air vents (HVAC). For these items, you will need to measure and rec-ord the center line to right wall, center line to left wall and the center line from the floor.

Step 5 Measuring Appliances With this step you will need to determine the dimensions of your new or existing kitchen appliances. This involves measuring and recording; the make and model of each appliance, height, width, depth and additional information on the Project Measurement Summary Worksheet. Addition-ally you will note the distance from the wall on the Project Summary and draw a square representing the appliance on the floor plan grid.

The  following  pages  are  to  be  used  for  taking  measurements,  notes  and  

drawing  a  layout
