If the included instructions do not include hole size measurements, you
bought a product from a manufacturer who was just kidding about being in the
faucet business. Made in China, maybe? The manufacturer's web site has
links to PDF files for installation & measurement. The latter file is one
blank page. The former link leads to a broken web page containing nothing.
Here's the web page, in case you want to be nauseated by the non-existent
help they're providing:

You got boned. Return the thing and reschedule the plumber. A manufacturer
like that doesn't deserve anyone's money. Get yourself a Moen faucet. Here's
what a spec sheet is supposed to look like:
