When built from scratch, an outdoor kitchen currently costs around $1,200 – $2,000 per linear foot. This range includes the costs of the island construction, finish, countertops, and all appliances.
If you are not factoring in your time or the potential pitfalls of inexperience, the dollar amount of a DIY outdoor kitchen build will be cheaper than premade options. However, unless you are already deeply experienced with outdoor kitchen construction, you will likely end up spending more money in the long run. This will come in the form of ongoing maintenance to correct issues related to cutting corners on cost or improper installation.
How much you should spend on an outdoor kitchen greatly depends on how big you want your island to be, and how many appliances you desire. Broad strokes, for an outdoor kitchen that will last a long time, you should spend at least $7,000 on a modest linear island setup, $14,000+ on an L-shaped layout, and $21,000+ on a U-shaped design.
Permitting for an outdoor kitchen greatly depends on how your outdoor kitchen is constructed, and your local building codes. Some outdoor kitchens, such as a ready to assemble island, are not always considered permanent structures and may be able to get around permitting requirements. If you are at all unsure, check with your town hall before proceeding with the project.
