PUT MY CART BACK? I'M BETTER THAN THAT AND YOU! WHERE IS MY BUTLER?!
Just make sure your cabinet height is sufficient for the dishwasher to fit under the countertop. MOST cabinets assume they will sit on finished floor and the dishwashers are built for a standard cabinet height. Many dishwashers have allowances to lift their front up higher in case the cabinet/counter is higher, but not lower. You may screw yourself if your floor doesn't go under your cabinets and dishwasher because that floor will add 3/4"+ to your height and the dishwasher may not fit.

As far as I know, most kitchens have flooring installed first, but they just run the flooring to just underneath the cabinets if you want to save square footage. Spacers are then used under the cabinets to ensure the whole cabinet support frame is at the right height on top of the finished floor height.
