Default Removing dishwasher when Laminate Flooring runs right up to it

Hi,

We're in the final days of having our new house built with the first
walk through scheduled for later this week, but one thing I wasn't
sure about is the dishwasher and laminate flooring. The dishwasher
sits on the concrete and the laminate flooring in the kitchen runs
right up to the dishwasher -- dishwasher was installed before
flooring. There's no gap between the top of the dishwasher and the
bottom of the counter top, so my worry is that the dishwasher won't be
able to be removed without pulling up the counter top or flooring.

In an email to the builder he said it would come out, which I'll have
him demo when we do the walk through, but I wanted to do some research
before then as well. I know it's not their first rodeo so I assume
I'm just not seeing the 'trick' to getting it out, but with the
dishwasher being so snug in there I'm just not seeing how to get it
out when it needs to be replaced or repaired.

Thanks for any advise.

This is a new house? I'm surprised the builder did it like that. Much
easier to put flooring first, then cabinets and appliances on top.
But as others have said, it can come out wih a little work.

Hi,
Men walking all over the new floor doing their work. Installing
cabinets, what not. Think about it.
