I'm not in Cal. but guess 25K as a ball park.

$80K.

Silicon Valley, $250k. $8k permits, $10k for drainage.

Are you building it yourself, or hiring builders?

My guess is 25-75, depending on materials and method--like, if you hire a contractor who plans and hires subs and such, or if you act as your own contractor, or if you build yourself.

It's lovely. I wish you the best of luck with it, especially if you're looking to hire a design-build firm or contractor--I can't even get anyone to reply to my calls or emails about a similarly-sized outbuilding we want to build on our property, so I genuinely hope you have better luck than me! :-)

Well, that narrows it down, doesn't it ...?? It looks to me like the thread is answering the question, "Where in the US should I seriously avoid living? Silicon Valley starts you off with $18K for not a single material thing!

Thanks for replies and compliments. I’m looking to a hire contractor for the work.

@David Nguyen I didn't elaborate well on my comment about material choices also affecting price. Your contractor will have a number of options for stone veneers or solid stone, super-high-end range top or basic, solid wood posts vs. steel covered with 1x lumber, that sort of thing. So to some extent you'll be able to control costs. It would be helpful for you to think about colors, brands etc. you'd like ahead of time, so s/he can include those options in the estimate. (Or if you want it to look exactly like the picture, you'd want to mention that, too.) There are lots of masonry contractors building such features these days, so they'll probably have some good ideas and options for you, as well.

Best of luck to you! I'm sure you'll love your outdoor kitchen pavilion!

The “kitchen” is over $25k.

The architect is $5k +, $250/hr.

The bar stools are $1k.

The cover is $25k.

Pavers $30/ sq ft, maybe 1,000 sq ft.

Trenching $10k.

Raised beds, irrigation, electrical.

The porta pottie costs $1k.

I like to live in Silicon Valley because of the income, those who think this is a $25-50k job, that amount will not be enough in my area.

"I like to live in Silicon Valley because of the income ..." That you must turn around and give away to others for every little thing you want.

One needs enough income to eat, then is able to spend for every thing one wants, including $5-10 million dollar homes, whose value increases with the local economy.

I suspect some serious over exaggeration above :-) Cost will be very locationally dependent, as will the prices associated with the materials. And you don't need an architect - any designer well versed in outdoor kuchen design will be able to do something similar and well below $250 an hour. You can also find similar barstools online for less than $250 each.

Bar stools, 6 @$200 is $1k

Access may be an issue, take down and rebuild a fence, or use a crane.

crane was $5 k.

In my area, any hardscape impacting rain has to be mitigated. A geologist was involved.

There are contractors who are licensed, insured, pay their employees based on local laws and are bonded, some contractors use union trained state licensed tradesmen. And, there are contractors who do not/are not.

There are tile guys or TCNA certified tradesmen.

$25k, for the work in the pictures, where do any of you live?

Jim Mat's pricing is similar to what we see here in northern VA. That fireplace is $15k all day long, more if you're adding steel and grouting the cells to allow it to act as a structural column to help brace the pavilion. That whole setup is a six figure job all in.

What about kitchen appliances? A well-appointed outdoor kitchen can easily have $20K just in appliances. Here are some considerations:

Oh, and if you are putting in a kitchen, you need the plumbing and electrical and gas installed, also. Even if you don't put in a kitchen initially, and just have a pavilion, then you still want to have the infrastructure to add appliances at a later time.

A follow up to the discussion. Rough range from reputable builder in the area, 150k for what is posted in the photos. Said for sure a six figure job. Stone and fireplace were major costs. Thanks for everyone’s opinions.

Some guys above have this this on par.. Coming from a Landscape Design/Build guy in the Chicagoland Burbs'.. would ballpark price this as follows

Pavilion (figure 18' x 20') the way this is finished | $25k

Fireplace | 15k

Grill Island/Kitchen/Bar Structure | 15k

Appliances | 5k

Gas Service to grill island, hookups | $3k

Electrical Service/Lighting/Fan | 5k

Patio | 20k

Total around 90k.. + Furniture - ?? however many spendies you want to throw at it
