Utility connections add significant costGas, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins account for $3,650.00 (58% of total). Running utilities to an outdoor kitchen often requires permits and licensed tradespeople. Get quotes from a plumber, electrician, and gas fitter before finalizing your budget — these costs vary widely by distance from the main house.

This is a rough project estimate only. Actual costs vary significantly by region, site conditions, contractor, and finish selections. Utility rough-in costs depend heavily on distance from the house and local code requirements. Always get written quotes before committing.
