Integrated dishwasher fitted after everything else?

I'm getting a brand new kitchen fitted. But I have a special order integrated dishwasher that might not arrive until after the entire kitchen is in (including the quartz worktops).

How difficult will it be for a tradesman to fit the integrated dishwasher in after everything else is in the kitchen (assuming all pipework etc is in place early on).

The kitchen is galley style with a around a 750mm space between the two runs of cabinets.

It’s no problem, otherwise if your dishwasher broke and you had to replace it what would you do?

Thanks, it just that on here, people always seem to say that integrated models are really hard to fix/replace compared to freestanding. Just trying to understand the challenges.

Integrated units can be hard to take out because they can be wedged in pretty tight. But they have to be removable to fix, or leaks, whatever.
750mm is a pretty tight space between runs however. 900-1m is more usual. I'm trying to picture maneuvering it in such a tight space.

Thank you. I think they'll have to slide it sideways along the galley way and then push it straight back into the space. I agree, space is tight unfortunately!
