Who did the design? When I did the electrical install for a kitchen refurb, the kitchen designer position the appliances. It was then down to me, as the electrician, to ensure there was suitable points/supplies for the appliances. If the kitchen supplier did the whole thing, someone like Magnet, they are sometimes responsible for the whole lot,
Though I agree, it all depends on what the kitchen supply company quoted for. As you rightly re-iterate in your next post, the details of exactly what the kitchen supply company are responsible for should be stated. I have come across kitchen companies that just offer supply & install and in their small print it states that alterations to M&E services are not included. If the kitchen company are responsible for the complete job then the customer has every right to complain and get the job rectified free of charge.
When having a large job done such as a kitchen it is a good idea to sit with the designers explaining what you want. Positions of sockets is pretty important, not just for a dishwasher but for all the other small appliances as well.
If like some people, whose kitchens are a fashion statement and are paying the price of a small fortune for their bespoke kitchen, they deserve to sit back, and let everything to fall into place for them.
Then there's some, that want to skin a fart. In that case, they need to keep a fine eye on the details. That said, I've missed the odd socket for a cooker hood before now. Silly billy, but I put it right FOC.
