No detail should be left out when learning how to build an outdoor kitchen.

Obtaining detailed building plans for outdoor kitchens is probably the most important step in planning your outdoor cookery.

All the kitchen building materials that are required for your out door kitchen project, and any potential utility obstacles, can be determined upfront before you get into costly changes later on.

You should always consult your local building code department with a rough outdoor kitchen plan, before undertaking any serious backyard renovations or additions.

Once you have an idea of what types of codes you need to adhere to, you can then contact the appropriate utility companies to find out where any obstacles may lay.

This will also be important when it comes time to connect electrical, plumbing and gas lines to your new out door kitchen appliances, sinks, barbecues, etc.
