Make sure you have documentation. Every phone call has date and time and duration. Names of every person you talked with and what was discussed. Get things in writing.
Photograph everything. Up close, Wide view. Multiple angles. Doors open and closed. Floor and walls and counter and sink and backsplash. Appliances. You are creating proof that things are not damaged prior to any contractor causing related damages.
For a typical kitchen alone, I would take at least 150 to 250 pictures. All with good lighting, which does not mean your cell phone "flash".
Repeat a base set of photos before and after anyone touches or alters anything.

Lead times on cabinets could be months.

Also check that the right drawer slides get ordered. Premium cabinets should have under drawer soft close slides. Door hinges should be soft close. Drawers with dovetail joints.

You might want to get an inspection by an expert home inspector. Now and after. They could help with making sure you get the right stuff. Possibly work with a cabinet company instead to guide you. I've heard good things about Summers Enterprises (I have no connection to them)

You are also entitled to all reasonable out of pocket expenses that may arise.
