But you can't rely on them for your actual working dimensions.
The only sure way to be sure that your units are going to fit properly and finish professionally is to physically check all the relevant measurements on site.

A good way of recording measurements and construction details is to sketch the floor plan and elevations, filling in the measurements as you go.
The drawings should include:
- Cabinets and bench tops
- doors and windows
- water pipes and waste pipes
- electrical outlets for appliances and power points
- vents and other features.
