Would like some advice on spacing between top and bottom kitchen cabinets and approximate dimensions of each set.

You should have a minimum of 18" between countertop and the bottom of the upper cabinets to allow for appliances as well as enough clearance for food prep. Base cabinets will end up with a height around 36"ht with the countertop. Bar height is usually around 42". Upper cabinets can be 30" in height or taller depending on your ceiling height and whether or not you are taking them up to a ceiling or soffit. Make sure to adjust for crown moulding on the cabinets or wall.

there is many types of support to be used for counter top for long lasting work... as ... 1) brick wall which takes 2" , 4" or 6" thickness space which is not good for below space as we will waste space for storage under counter... this is used where heavy material is used on top of counter for cutting any food items... 2) marble support... which will take 35mm thk space double support... 3) furniture base if the kitchen working person is using the sink properly for washing purpose and the gaps between the sink and counter top has to be sealed properly for leakage free to avoid any damages for below storage, as i will not prefer this in other area... this can be used only in foreign countries...
