CHECK 01
Identify whether the system is catalogue-based
Turn this point into a recorded decision: define the input, review it against the real project and keep the evidence that allows another person to verify the result.
Direct answer
An online kitchen configurator may guide users through a product catalogue, while a planning tool should also support custom measurements and construction choices.
Expert view
The real decision behind this search
The user must distinguish a supplier catalogue configurator from a flexible planning system.
Workshop reality
Try changing a cabinet to a non-catalogue width and inspect whether materials, hardware and rules are locked to one supplier. That reveals whether the tool supports custom planning or product selection.
Useful output
A clear understanding of the tool's constraints and whether they match the intended buying route.

Decision sequence for this specific task
Each check below is tied to the subject of this page. Record the input, the decision and the evidence used to approve it.
CHECK 02
Check freedom in cabinet sizes and materials
Tie the decision to a cabinet code and external size, then check how the construction standard changes the internal space, fronts and neighbouring units.
CHECK 03
Understand which rules are fixed by the supplier
Verify the building condition and the fixing method before positioning the cabinet. Establish one reference, support the box without twisting it and recheck after connection.
CHECK 04
Choose the workflow that matches the real buying route
Use the same test case and the same scoring criteria for every option. A comparison is meaningful only when the required output and responsibility are defined first.
Release boundary
Catalogue configuration and custom construction planning solve different problems.
