Wait until you inspect your house first. Some rectification works might need to be done by developer after checks.

It is easier to visualize your kitchen layout and ensure it is functional when you are in that space.

But if you have the house plan, can start visiting kitchen cabinet companies for ideas on design, layout and shortlist them (find out the waiting time).

Also need to decide whether you are planning to get a contractor, cabinet company or interior designer for the house...

Okay if everything settle and check okayed by the contractor
Then can straight arrange for KC lar? Different from contractor cabinet company and interior design compared by what ya. Sorry noob question

Yes, if checks done and you are happy with it. Can arrange for KC if you don't have any plans of doing extra wet works/ extensions/ first fix plumbing/ first fix electrical wiring/ tiles installation/ plaster ceiling. 

Difference between them...

Interior designer designs it and will manage/ coordinate everyone including contractor and kitchen cabinet co.
Contractor will get wet works subcontractor, electrician, cabinet subcontractor, tiles installer. Sometimes you can also opt to select your own cabinet company.
Interior designer vs contractor. This sums it up...

Cabinet company/ Cabinet designer design the kitchen cabinet only & wardrobes but if concrete countertop required they will arrange it if you don't have a contractor/ interior designer

That answer alot of my question. I m on the lighter side on the budget.. In ur opinion is it okay if i only do countertop and below cabinet and later on upgrade? Cause the kitchen area is kinda big. Around 12*10 ft.

Yeah. Good to stick to your budget. Basic kitchen is fine as long as it does the job…able to store and prepare healthy tasty food.  smile.gif

Tall units (build in cabinets from floor to ceiling) can be quite costly but useful for storage. In the meantime can use simple metal shelf… lots of ideas in pinterest.

If you are planning to upgrade later, bear that in mind when planning your kitchen layout so won’t waste money, material and effort later on. And better to make it future proof…
