Is there anything a person has to do as far as beefing up the base
cabinets so it can hold the weight of a granite counter top?

No. Unless you have especially "wimpy" cabinets, they will handle the
weight with no problem.

Old Fangled is right, most cabinets will hold the weight of granite
just fine. The thing you might need to worry about is if you have an
exceptionally large overhang, like for a bar. It is a good idea to
brace any over hang over 10 inches.
If you have any doubt about the sturdiness of your cabinets or any
other questions about installing your granite contact a local granite
installation company.

or narrow sections - like where you have a hob or sink cut-out.
