Refer cabinets are usually built in pieces, two side panels and upper
cabinet sandwiched between. If it is a big subzero then there will be
no room for an upper cabinet, just a finished panel and crown with the
framing behind to keep the refer from tipping over. An oven cabinet or
pantry may also be stacked and a finished end applied if necessary.
Another thing to check is tight doorways or sharp bends into the
kitchen.

In general cabinets must be referenced from a single point. Usually
the high point of the floor. Remember to leave a scribe space at the
ceiling to allow for irregularities. Crown my work here.

I am in the final design phase of my new kitchen cabinet design and am
just about ready to start cutting some wood.

In looking at my drawings I noticed that I may have a potential issue
that I could really use anyones advice on.

I have a built-in refrigerator cabinet that goes from floor to ceiling
(96"). If I built this cabinet, then tried to get it into position, I
dont think I would be able to stand it up (since I have 96" ceilings).
No way to lean it up.

Also, I have an oven cabinet, full height, that would probably would be
able to stand up since it is not full height due to the toe kick but
not quite sure (need to do some trig to be certain).

The other thing I was noticing is that since the full height cabinets
are referenced from the floor, it seems that I may have an issue
aligning the wall cabinets that adjoin the full heights cabs since they
are referenced from the ceiling. Ultimately, the top rail on the
frames of the wall cabinets and the full height cabinets must align.

So, my ultimate question is how have you dealt with full height
cabinets like this. I cant really build them in place because they are
being finished off-site.

Thanks for any advise.
