But do ensure your contractor doing the correct step of building the base. Egs if you place a brick on the tile floor, it easily move able acting as an add on only. I do understand during the building of the base they need to mix the 2in1 concrete screed, adding a black bottle chemical name cement hardener, add water and the whole mixture become more sticky and they will lay on the area you intend to build your base and start doing sand casting. The end result will harden and stick onto you allocated floor to provide a more secure base. My last hdb base was having gap in between the base and the tile area which I think it's an add on instead of the proper constructing of base as mention above. Hope this help

Having a cabinet base is only for easier care. So that when you wash your kitchen, water would not touch your cabinet doors. Some prefer having cabinet legs but you will need to mop under the cabinet and sometimes its tiring

From an aunty who has designed two of her own kitchens. Do you do a lot of cooking? Full, heavy cooking, not instant noodles or reheating of food. If you do, please have a concrete base. If not, you can opt for aesthetic sense and go with the cabinets with legs.
