Hi All,
Since several people are in the planning stages now for building their outdoor kitchens and I asked me about the cost of my build I thought I would share this info with the group. While I am not completely done I think I have now purchased all the supplies needed to finish the build and thought others would find it useful. I really only have the stucco left to apply to the exterior and a few touch up items. Of course this info is purely informational to help others budget for their build not to start any arguments nor get into a contest of who paid the least for the same item. Please note that the prices below may include shipping charges which I did not break out separately if purchased from an online vendor. Also I did not itemize every part from the receipt since everyone’s exact list will differ based on size of the island etc so in some cases I listed only the major items in the purchase and added the word supplies to be a catch all for pieces such as PVC fittings for instance. I really wanted to provide a broad category for someone to think about and make sure they account for when budgeting. The 3 items that come to mind for this is electrical, plumbing and natural gas piping.
This is not meant to scare people off from building an outdoor kitchen but rather provide a list of items to think about when planning. Of course prices will vary greatly depending on building materials used, size of island, appliances used etc.
High level overview of the project:
Framing – L shaped island that is 13’ by 10’ with an elevated bar area. Used 3 5/8†20 gauge steel for frame. Required 180 linear feet of track and 238 linear feet of studs and about 1050 Rivets
Electrical – 50 amp service to a 60 amp sub panel that has 3 circuits. 1 circuit for Hot Water Heater, 1 circuit for internal outlets (3 total) and 1 circuit for external outlets (6 total).
Plumbing – Hot and cold water to 2 Faucets. 1 sink with drain.
Natural Gas – Service for 5 burner gas grill & double side burner
Exterior Finish – 17 sheets of ¼†Hardie Board for sides, top and compartments, 4 sheets of ½†Hardie Board for bottom with Trex feet, about 900 Hardie Board screws, 65 square feet of 3 cm granite for counter top and bar. 3 sets of Stainless doors and rollout trash bin
Appliances – 38†5 burner Jenn Air Natural Gas Grill, Cal Flame natural gas double burner side burner, Propane recessed side burner for large pots and a Danby stainless refrigerator.

I have made more progress than this picture shows however it is raining right now so I can not take an updated picture. When I get a new one I will replace this picture.
With this materials list:
I will continue to update this thread if I end up needing any other supplies.
I hope this helps others with their planning. As I said earler prices will vary for each build.
Let me know if you have a specific question on an items or would like more details on the list of material used in my build.
