I am considering putting a 36″ induction cooktop over a 30″ wall oven, with both approved for such installation. I would be planning on installing B3DR2RO (3 drawer base cabinet with 2 hidden rollouts) on each side of the cooktop cabinet. I was planning on a 30″ wide BWALLOVEN (0 door wall oven and cooktop base cabinet) for the oven. I intend to make this set of cabinets 26″ deep. This layout would create smooth drawer to oven door appearance.
For this to work the sides of the cabinets will need to be site modded to cut out about 5″ down the sides of the cabinets to clear the cooktop body. It also appears the top drawers on each side will conflict with the cooktop body. A drawer mod on the left and right to make the top drawer boxes 3″ more narrow on one side, with the normal drawer front, would be one way to do this. Basically the top drawers would have offset undersize drawer boxes to clear the intruding cooktop body. The installing of a wood support piece to hold the offset side of the drawer slide could be done by the installers onsite.
I hope you can follow the proposed mod I described. Is this type of custom underwide top drawer box something you could do? Thanks.

We would not be able to modify the top drawer box off the inside wall of the cabinet case on one side. This would cause massive issues with our cabinet layout program, resulting in errors.
Straddling the cooktop into the adjacent cabinets is fine, but the top drawer box in the cabinet to the left or right will almost certainly have issues if the cooktop is intruding into the top of the cabinet in that area, as you noted.
You are welcome to order the cabinet as needed, without the drawer box modification, install everything as planned, and then order a new custom drawer box in the correct size over on BarkerDoor.com.
This turns a fairly complex issue into just a couple of new drawer boxes and one follow-up order. Once broken down into those steps, it is fairly easy. You would be able to reuse the existing drawer front and slides. All that would be needed is a new drawer box that is slightly narrower than the original.
