What's included
The highest ticket per square foot outdoors.
An outdoor kitchen is a small building on a patio. It needs the same base thinking as everything else we build, plus regulated trades for anything that burns.
Services
- Gas by a TSSA-registered technician
- Electrical by a Licensed Electrical Contractor
- Water and drain by a licensed plumber if wanted
- Winterisation designed in
All three are regulated trades. We coordinate; they certify.
Fire features
- Wood-burning and gas fire pits
- Seat walls around the feature
- Clearances planned properly
- Sited for wind and for where people sit

Typical range
Ask for a figure
We publish real numbers rather than "it depends" — but only once they're ours to publish. Our written ranges are being finalised; call and we'll give you one over the phone in a minute. What moves the number:
- Length of the run and how many appliance openings
- Counter material
- Gas, electrical and water — each brings a regulated trade
- Whether it is built with a new patio or retrofitted
- Fire feature type and size
- Seat walls, lighting and surrounding hardscape

Questions
Questions, answered.
Who runs the gas line?
A TSSA-registered gas technician, always — gas is a regulated trade and this is the item most commonly overlooked on an outdoor living job. We build the structure, the counters and the surrounds, and the gas work is done and certified by the right trade.
Can it stay out all winter?
Built properly, yes. That means a frost-stable base under the structure, materials rated for freeze-thaw, water lines that can be drained or are not run at all, and appliances rated for outdoor use. Built on a shallow base, it moves like anything else.
Do I need water out there?
Fewer people use an outdoor sink than expect to, and a water line adds a drain, a winterisation routine and a licensed plumber. Worth being honest with yourself about before committing to it.
What about a fire feature?
Wood-burning is simple and needs clearances. Gas is more convenient and brings the TSSA trade with it. Both need to be sited with real thought about wind, neighbours and where people actually sit.
