Outdoor Kitchens, Simplified: Built Right. Done Once.

November 6, 2025General

Outdoor kitchens are in demand. But they’re not simple.

 

If you’ve ever had a client ask about adding an outdoor kitchen, you probably know what comes next:

questions about gas lines, waterproofing, slope correction, and inevitably, who’s on the hook if something goes wrong.

That’s why most builders, designers, and developers love the idea of outdoor kitchens… but hesitate to include them.

We get it. They’re complex.

That’s where we come in.

 

Why Outdoor Kitchens Seem Risky, and Why They Don’t Have To

An outdoor kitchen isn’t just another backyard feature. It’s plumbing, gas, clearances, building codes, electrical, cabinetry, appliances, and manufacturer specs, all in one space that’s exposed to weather 365 days a year.

For most construction or design teams, that’s a lot of coordination risk.

At Canada Outdoor Kitchens, we’ve simplified the process. We partner with builders, designers, and developers across Alberta and BC to handle every detail, from design and supply to installation and finishing.

Our commitment is to make sure your projects are function-fit and cost-effective.

We’re not another contractor; we’re your outdoor kitchen partner.

The COK Advantage for Trade Professionals

1. One Call. Complete Solution.

We manage the details you don’t have time for.

Our team coordinates design, materials, utilities, appliances, and installation, all under one roof.

That means fewer vendors, fewer callbacks, and a smoother client experience.

2. Built for Canadian Conditions

Outdoor kitchens in Alberta and BC aren’t like those in California or Florida.

Between snow, wind, humidity, and temperature swings, materials matter.

We design and build with industry-leading products, including:

  • Selection of countertops built to handle the elements while matching your preferred style.
  • Weatherproof custom modular stainless-steel cabinets powder-coated for longevity.
  • Smart, design-forward heating options for year-round comfort.
  • Top selection of appliances built for consistent performance season after season.

Each installation is built to last — professionally installed, weather-tested, and backed by reliable manufacturer warranties.

3. Custom Design Collaboration

Your clients trust your design vision, and we help bring it to life.

We work directly with designers and builders to create:

  • Detailed 3D renderings
  • Material samples and specs
  • Appliance selection for the scale of the project
  • Detailed heat plan for outdoor heating

You stay in control of your project. We make it easy to deliver the vision your client expects.

4. Trade-Friendly Partnerships

Whether you want to refer clients, co-manage, or have us install under your brand, we’ve designed flexible ways to work together.

Options include:

  • Partner Program: We collaborate with trusted builders and designers across BC and Alberta to increase their profits.
  • Collaboration: We work alongside your team from concept to completion.
  • Subcontract Install: We build it, we take on the risk, you take the credit.

5. Take Out the Risk, Keep the Rewards

Outdoor kitchens can be tricky. Levelling, electrical, and finishes need to be perfect — and small mistakes can cost time and money.

That’s why our partners rely on us to protect their timelines, budgets, and reputations. We take away your risk while you keep the rewards.

We bring over 1,000 completed projects’ worth of experience to every collaboration, including residential, commercial, and multi-unit spaces.

And because we work with the builders to ensure that every aspect is in the correct location, handle the complexities, levelling, and finishes, you can confidently offer outdoor kitchens without the stress.

The Result: Satisfied Clients and Better Profits

An outdoor kitchen doesn’t just enhance your client’s space. It enhances your bottom line.

It turns a backyard project into a higher-value build, delivering returns for both your client and your business.

The result is a finished space that reflects quality craftsmanship and creates opportunities for better margins on every job.
