Go Fully Modular...

If your kitchen is completely bare i.e. without kitchen counters, you will need a box type kitchen. A box type modular kitchen is fully modular, from the kitchen counters to the cabinets and the shutters to the pullouts.

... Or Not

On the other hand, if your builder has already provided you with granite kitchen counters or even a kaddapa (black limestone) framework, you can have a modular kitchen worked into it. However, this way only your cabinet shutters, shelves and pullouts will be modular. But you will be saving out on the overall cost of modular framework.

Make to Order

Certain modular kitchen brands have fittings, cabinet shutters, drawers etc. available in only certain fixed sizes. This works fine if you require a box type kitchen because the counter height can then vary.

But if your kitchen has the groundwork in place, you will need to make sure that the shutter heights suit the height of your kitchen counters. For instance, if your counter height is 32 inches, you will need a shutter height of about 30 inches keeping in mind a 1-inch frame all around. 

However, if you can't find shutters to fit your kitchen, there are certain modular kitchen dealers who make to order as well.
