Dimensions from the drawing, not the tape measure

A walk-in is built to order, so the dimensions have to account for panel thickness, clearances, the door swing and the route in. Taking these from a coordinated floor plan rather than a site measurement avoids the box that technically fits and practically does not.

Cooler, freezer, or both

A combination box shares a wall and a footprint and is usually cheaper than two separate boxes. It also fixes your cooler-to-freezer ratio for the life of the build, so be confident about the split before committing.

Where the condenser goes

Self-contained units are simpler and put heat into the room. Remote condensers go outside or on the roof, which is quieter and cooler inside, but they need a location, a refrigerant line run, and roof capacity to carry the weight.

The freezer floor, and the ramp it brings

A freezer needs its own insulated floor — without one, frost drives into the slab, heaves it and leaves condensation underneath. That floor sits above the room floor, so you either accept a ramp or recess the slab so the box finishes flush, which means saw-cutting and repouring concrete and a structural review on an upper floor. A cooler can sometimes sit on the building slab with a properly sealed and coved junction, which avoids the ramp entirely. All of it is decided at design, not delivery.

Install sequence against construction

The box goes in before the ceiling and surrounding finishes close in. That places it early on the critical path, which is why a late walk-in stops the finishing trades rather than just arriving late.
