I am installing kitchen cabinets and we are installing engineered wood after the cabinets are installed, floor installer said to just go right ahead and lay the cabinets over the bare concrete, which doesn't see right, anyway, the engineered floors will be approximately 5/8" to 1/2" in height, what would be the best course of action with this situation. You help is greatly appreciated and with your answer, would you provide as much detail as possible on the exact procedure and process, please and thank you.

Find out exactly how tall the floor will be, and use spacers (maybe pieces of the flooring) to raise the cabinets the same amount. Ideally, install them after the floor is done. Otherwise, try to have the flooring extend under the cabinets. Your carpenter will probably install quarter round trim at the base of the cabinets to cover the seam where the cabinets and the floor intersect either way you do it.
