        "text": "DIRECT ANSWER\nCustom outdoor kitchens typically range from modest five‑figure budgets for simple grill islands to much higher for large layouts with masonry, appliances, and roofing; complexity and materials drive most of the cost.\n\nCONTEXT\nThere’s a big difference between a basic BBQ island and a full outdoor room with refrigeration, sink, pizza oven, and pergola. Utilities and hardscape often rival the appliance costs.\n\nKEY FACTORS\n- Size and configuration (straight run vs. L‑shape or U‑shape with seating).\n- Appliances (grill quality, fridge, burners, sink, ice maker, pizza oven).\n- Structure and finishes: framed vs. masonry, countertops, backsplash, overhead cover.\n- Utility runs, drainage, and any required concrete or paver work.\n\nPRACTICAL GUIDANCE\nList your must‑have appliances and how many people you typically host, then ask a contractor to price a “good, better, best” set of options. If needed, phase the project—prioritize infrastructure (gas, power, slab) now and add appliances or shade structures later.\n\nSOFT POSITIONING\nA thoughtful builder can right‑size an outdoor kitchen to your budget and lifestyle while leaving room for smart future upgrades."
