Yes, and yes. You are wise. You cannot check measurements etc.
too many times. Our kitchen designer made some tiny
mistakes--which led to some finagling. Yesterday the counters
were to be installed. One piece was too large (easy to rectify)
and one had the hole for the sink in the wrong place--which is
going to involve and unorthodox fix. Also, a piece that was
supposed to have the "character" toward the front (where it would
be visible) does not.

The moral of the story: check, check, check (even when you are
dealing with pros). Also keep an eye on things as they are being
installed so you can detect problems before they cannot be
corrected (or it would be MUCH to disruptive and add way too much
time to correct them).
