I fit quite a lot of kitchens and I have a process I follow from start to finish.

Firstly I discuss the requirements with the customer to find out exactly what's required, I then get plans drawn up so the customer can see what it will look like in 3D.

The process of the installation then would be as follows:

Removal of all existing fittings, tiles from wall and floors, any damaged plaster work.

Then installation is as follows:

1st fix electrical work to include any new positions for washers, dryers, dishwasher, fridge freezer, under unit lights, plinth lights and hood/extractor fan.

Plaster work next making sure all areas are solid and secure.

1st fix plumbing work would then be done making sure supply and waste flows to and from the new appliances with minimal disruption.

Then it would be the base unit installation, then wall units making sure the height between units is correct to match any tall cupboards.

Worktops then would be cut creating butt and scribe joints for a professional "invisible" joint including cut outs for hob, sink etc.

2nd fix plumbing attaching the sink.

Laying of the floor to go just under the base units.

Fit the plinths.

2nd fix electrics with chosen faceplates, lights etc.

Install appliances.

Install pelmets, cornice, doors and add handles. Paint and tile walls where required. Finally seal all worktops and hob/sink using an anti mould silicone seal (translucent for around hob and sink)

from rj property services advise that all electrics get done first readt for bonding in and then plaster ready to fit kitchen in a clean and tidy way

As Avondale Plumbing suggested - maybe avoid painting where you're going to tile.
Get your electricians to run a cable under the base units for sockets that may be required for washing machines/dishwashers etc.

Here's how I would approach kitchen installation after overlooking kitchen installation in over 200units both new buildings and renovations.

1.) Design! Design! Design!
Design the new kitchen in its entirety and go through with your selected builder. Possibly ask for a 3d model so everyone is crystal clear on expectations and a full budget is known. I always encourage you allow for couple of extra decor end panels for wall and base units. They come in handy at the later part.

2) Strip out stage:
Take out all old units, floor tiles and in some cases ceiling, depending on the state of property. I also keep the longest old worktop and use for my work bench later.

3) First fix electrics and in some cases plumbing where properties have floor boards and pipes have been installed shabbily in the past.

4) Cut out light holes if downlights have been chosen then plaster and allow drying time. It's a nightmare cutting light holes out post plastering only to realise there are joists or noggin clashing with them. It costs you more!

5.) Time to start looking through the delivered kitchens and stacking the units in the order of install and also complete plumbing 1st fix.

6) Mistcoat the plastered walls and ceiling(not final paint, walls will definitely have minor damages when kitchens are being installed) Put the new lights on so you can see your next stage of works clearly.
It's best to install kitchen in the final light condition you see everything you are doing first hand!

7.) Kitchen install. I usually start with wall units working from that awkward corner unit outwards. ( Make sure you dry fit any larder units too so you can work out the kitchen height. Base units go in last for me.

8.) Time for worktop templating for stone or marble tops. While laminate or wood worktops are cut down and installed. You can then tile your splashback or fit ms decorative boards. All determined by options selected at Design stage.

9.) Floor finish installation with protection once complete.I bring the flooring right up against the base unit legs. Some flooring are designed to expand/contrast, therefore consider expansion gap to wall at this stage.

10.) 2nd fix electrics after splashback has been completed, followed by 2nd fix plumbing. You need power to sockets for dishwasher/washing machine/ plumbed fridge connection and testing hence this sequence.

10.) Fit all doors, plug in appliances, integrated appliances, pelmet, plinth, the lot! including aligning doors and completing every single bit of kitchen component. Test all components/appliances at this stage and make sure all are in perfect working condition.

11.) Final decoration. Time to get ONLY painters in your kitchen to give it a midas touch after everyone has finished their work. You end up with a crisp looking kitchen walls and ceiling with no flashing paint, kinks and nicks etc.

12.) Final thorough kitchen clean and then seal all joints with mould proof sealants. I prefer Arbosil sealants.

13.) Final completion certificate issued to the Client.
