New Kitchen advice - waste pipe behind units?

[Vanilla]

Hi all,

I've been reading all the threads and am starting to have a play with some of the online tools.

Yes, DIY kitchens comes highly recommended and I like their modern look ones.

Anyway, next to the kitchen is a bathroom. This has a waste pipe which goes through the kitchen. AM I right in thinking that units supplied come with a bit of space underneath the, (like pictured below) and you just place panels in front of the legs?

Anyone have any experience with things being routed behind units?

kick boards - yes - some people do have them open, but generally kickboards are used. You do need to be mindful of the drop, as it needs to be sufficient for the water to be expelled.

there should be a service gap behind the units, this is for piping, wiring etc.
